SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:22–42: The Jewish leaders rejected Jesus

The Jewish leaders challenged Jesus to say clearly that he was the Messiah if he was. Jesus told them that he had told them but they did not believe him because they were not his sheep. He said that he gives his sheep eternal life and no one can take them from him.

Jesus also said that he was one with God the Father, so the religious authorities wanted to kill him. They said that this was blasphemy (speaking against God). Jesus said that it was not blasphemy because he was the one God sent into the world. He also said that God was in him and he was in God. His opponents again tried to seize him, and he again escaped from them.

Jesus then went back to the east side of the Jordan River, away from Jerusalem. Many followed him and believed in him.

Here are other possible section headings:

Some Jewish leaders wrongly said that Jesus spoke against God

Jewish leaders became very angry with Jesus

Jewish leaders challenged Jesus

Paragraph 10:25–30

Jesus answered those who were challenging him. He told them clearly that he was one with his Father.

10:27a

My sheep listen to My voice;

My sheep listen to what I say.
My sheep listen when I speak to them.

My sheep listen to My voice: The phrase My sheep is again a figurative way to refer to people who belong to Jesus. They listen and respond to him.

listen to My voice: The phrase My voice refers to what Jesus says, his words. See the notes on 10:3b, and see how you translated this expression there. For example:

listen to me

give attention to what I say

10:27b

I know them, and they follow Me.

And I know them well and they follow me.
And as for me, I know them all, and they follow after me.

The Greek text introduces the next clause with a word that is often translated as “and.” The BSB and some other English translations do not include this word because it is not natural in English. It would be good to include this conjunction if it is natural in your language. For example:

and I know them (NET)

I know them: Jesus was saying that he personally knows well each one of his sheep, meaning his people. See 10:3c and 10:14b. Here is another way to translate this clause:

I know them well

they follow Me: The word they refers again to Jesus’ sheep, meaning his people. They follow Jesus by obeying him. See the note on 10:4c, where Jesus said the sheep follow him as their shepherd. Continue to indicate the meaning of this metaphor in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

my people follow me like sheep following their shepherd
