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 10:1–6

In this paragraph, Jesus described the situation of sheep in a sheep pen surrounded by a wall. He talked about thieves and bandits, who climb into the sheep pen to steal the sheep. The sheep do not follow them. He also described the shepherd who comes in through the gate. The shepherd calls his sheep to come with him and they follow him. Jesus did not say here who he compared himself to, but he will do that in the next paragraphs.

10:4a

When he has brought out all his own,

When the shepherd has led out all his sheep,
When he has led all of his sheep out of the pen,

When he has brought out all his own: The shepherd takes all of his sheep out of the sheep pen and does not leave any behind. Apparently some of the sheep in the sheep pen belong to other shepherds, and he does not lead those out. He leads out all the sheep that belong to him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

When he has led out all of his sheep (CEV)

After he has brought out all his sheep (GW)

all his own: The words all his own mean “all his own sheep,” that is, every sheep the shepherd owns.

10:4b

he goes on ahead of them,

he goes in front of them,
he walks in front of them to guide them.

he goes on ahead of them: The shepherd walks in front of the sheep and shows them the right way to go. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

he walks ahead of them (GW)

he leads/guides them

10:4c

and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

and his sheep follow the shepherd because they recognize his voice.
The sheep recognize their shepherd’s voice and so they walk behind him.

his sheep follow him because they know his voice: The sheep walk along behind their shepherd, going wherever he goes. They are willing to follow because they recognize the sound of his voice. Here are other ways to translate these clauses:

they follow, because they know his voice (CEV)

they go behind him, because they recognize his voice

his sheep: See how you translated the word sheep in 10:2. The phrase his sheep refers to the sheep that belong to the shepherd and follow him.

because: This word introduces the reason the sheep follow their shepherd. They recognize his voice and trust him.

they know his voice: This clause means that they recognize the sound of the shepherd’s voice. They have heard it many times before.
