UTN uW Translation Notes:

Connecting Statement:

In 10:11–18, Jesus uses ideas from the parable he told in 10:1–5 to proclaim that he is the good shepherd who leads his sheep to heaven and takes care of them.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός

I am the shepherd ¬the good

Jesus uses the phrase good shepherd to refer to himself. Just as a good shepherd takes care of his sheep, Jesus takes care of his followers. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a simile. Alternate translation: “I am like a good shepherd”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίθησιν

the life ˱of˲_him /is/_laying

Here Jesus uses lays down his life to refer to voluntarily dying. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a different polite way of referring to this or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “voluntarily dies”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν προβάτων

the sheep

See how you translated sheep in the 10:8.
