SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–21: Jesus is the good shepherd

In this section Jesus talked about how he related to his people, his followers. He compared himself to the door of the sheep pen and to the shepherd. This comparison is something like a parable, but there is no actual story or narrative. It is more like a word picture, or a series of word pictures linked by the theme of sheep farming. It can also be described as an extended metaphor.

First Jesus compares himself to the door of the sheep pen because he is the way to salvation. Then he compares himself to the good shepherd because he leads and cares for his people as a shepherd does his sheep.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus is the shepherd of his people

Jesus told the parable/story of the good shepherd and his sheep

Jesus compared himself to a shepherd and the door/gate to a sheep pen

Paragraph 10:11–16

Jesus changed the metaphor in this paragraph. In this new metaphor, the shepherd represents Jesus, the sheep again represent believers, and the hired hand represents bad Jewish leaders. The contrast here is that Jesus cares well for the sheep while the bad leaders only think about themselves.

10:15a

just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father.

just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father: The words just as introduce a comparison. The comparison is between the relationship of the Father and Jesus (10:15a), and the relationship of Jesus and his people (10:14b). (Jesus’ people are represented as his sheep in the metaphor.) Jesus implied that the relationship between himself and the Father is close and loving. The same is true of the relationship between Jesus and his people. Here are other ways to translate these clauses:

in the same way as the Father knows me and I know the Father

the Father: The words the Father refer to God the Father.

10:15b

And I lay down My life for the sheep.

And I lay down My life for the sheep: This clause indicates that Jesus was willing to die for his sheep, the people of God. That means that he died for the sake (benefit) of his people because his death paid for our sins. See how you translated a similar clause in 10:11b. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

And I am giving my life for the sake of the sheep. (JBP)

And I give up my life to save my sheep. (Otomi Back Translation)

I am willing to die for them. (GNT)

General Comment on 10:14–15

The GNT reordered 10:14–15, mentioning the relationship of the Father and Jesus before the relationship between Jesus and his own people/sheep. The GNT also refers to the sheep explicitly in 10:14 and uses a pronoun, “them,” in 10:15. Consider if this order of information may be more natural in your language:

14–15I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them.
