Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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).
Connecting Statement:
In 10:11–18, Jesus uses ideas from the parable he told in 10:1–5 to proclaim that he is the good shepherd who leads his sheep to heaven and takes care of them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός
I am the shepherd ¬the good
Jesus uses the phrase good shepherd to refer to himself. Just as a good shepherd takes care of his sheep, Jesus takes care of his followers. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a simile. Alternate translation: “I am like a good shepherd”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίθησιν
the life ˱of˲_him /is/_laying
Here Jesus uses lays down his life to refer to voluntarily dying. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a different polite way of referring to this or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “voluntarily dies”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῶν προβάτων
the sheep
See how you translated sheep in the 10:8.
