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.

10:29a

My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all.

My Father, who has given these people to me, is greater than everyone.
My Father gave them to me. He is more powerful than anyone else.

My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all: There is a textual problem here:

Some Greek manuscripts say that the Father is greater than all else. For example:
My Father gave my sheep to me. He is greater than all. (NCV) (BSB, NIV, KJV, NASB, ESV, NJB, REB, NET, NLT, CEV, NCV)
Some manuscripts say that the gift is greater than all else. For example:
What my Father has given me is greater than everything. (GNT) (NRSV, GNT)

It is recommended that you follow option (1), following the BSB and most English translations. However, experts in the Greek text agree that the exact original text is quite uncertain.The UBS Greek New Testament gives it a D rating, indicating considerable uncertainty. If the translations in your area follow option (2), you may want to do the same.

In this verse part, Jesus said that God the Father gave him his sheep (his people). He also said that God was greater than anyone or anything else. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else (NLT)

My Father who has given them to Me: God has given these people to Jesus to care for, providing for their needs.

is greater than all: This clause means that God rules over everything else and has more power than anyone else. Nobody can defeat him. So his people are safe and secure.

10:29b

No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

No one can take/grab these people out of my Father’s care.
My Father God will protect/preserve them from everyone.

No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand: In this metaphor, God has given people to Jesus, but they are still in God’s hands. This indicates that they are safe, and that God is protecting them. Refer to your translation of 10:28b. In some languages a literal translation would have no meaning or would wrongly indicate that God has physical hands. If that is true in your language, you may want to explain the metaphor. For example:

no one can snatch them out of the Father’s care (REB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Πατήρ μου ὃς δέδωκέν μοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Πατήρ μού ὅς δέδωκεν μοί πάντων μεῖζον ἐστίν καί οὐδείς δύναται ἁρπάζειν ἐκ τῆς χειρός τοῦ Πατρός)

Father is an important title for God.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐδεὶς δύναται ἁρπάζειν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Πατρός

Jesus uses the word hand to refer to God’s protective care and snatch to refer to removing someone from that care. See how you translated hand and snatch in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [no one will steal any of them away from my Father] or [they all will remain secure forever in my Father’s care]
