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 10:17–18

Jesus explained clearly that he was going to die and then live again. This was what the Father commanded.

10:17a

The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life

The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life: These clauses indicate that the Father loves the Son because the Son is willing to die. It is implied that the Son is willing to die for his people, his sheep. That is what he said in 10:11 and 10:15. Here are other ways to translate these clauses:

The Father loves me because I am willing to give up my life (GNT)

the Father: This phrase refers to God who is Jesus’ Father.

lay down My life: This phrase means “willingly die” or “allow others to kill me.” See how you translated this phrase in 10:11 and 10:15. For example:

I give my life (GW)

I sacrifice my life (NLT)

I will allow others to kill me

10:17b

in order to take it up again.

in order to take it up again: This phrase indicates that Jesus died with the purpose of taking up his life (getting it back) again. His purpose in dying was to live again. That was not his only purpose, because he mainly died to save people, but it was an additional purpose. Here is another way to translate this phrase:

so that I may receive it back again (CEV)

it: The word it refers to Jesus’ life. It may be more natural to translate this using a verb. For example:

in order that I might live again

so that I will then become alive again

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

διὰ τοῦτό, με ὁ Πατὴρ ἀγαπᾷ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τοῦτο μέ ὁ Πατήρ ἀγαπᾷ ὅτι ἐγώ τίθημι τήν ψυχήν μού ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν)

Here, this refers to all the information in the second clause. If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: [Because I lay down my life so that I might take it up again, the Father loves me]

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατὴρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τοῦτο μέ ὁ Πατήρ ἀγαπᾷ ὅτι ἐγώ τίθημι τήν ψυχήν μού ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν)

Father is an important title for God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ψυχήν μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τοῦτο μέ ὁ Πατήρ ἀγαπᾷ ὅτι ἐγώ τίθημι τήν ψυχήν μού ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν)

See how you translated the similar phrase in [10:11](../10/11.md). Alternate translation: [I voluntarily die]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν

in_order_that back ˱I˲_˓may˒_take it

Jesus refers to becoming alive again as if life were an object that he could take up. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [so that I might cause myself to be alive again]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

10:1-42 Chapter 10 continues the series of festival sermons (see study note on 5:1–10:42). Here, the setting is Hanukkah (the Festival of Dedication), the timing of which is crucial to understanding the story (see study note on 10:22).
