SOTN 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 10:11–16

Jesus changed the metaphor in this paragraph. In this new metaphor, the shepherd represents Jesus, the sheep again represent believers, and the hired hand represents bad Jewish leaders. The contrast here is that Jesus cares well for the sheep while the bad leaders only think about themselves.

10:16a

I have other sheep that are not of this fold.

I have other sheep who are not from this sheep pen.
There are others belonging to me who do not live in this sheep pen.

I have other sheep that are not of this fold: Jesus continued his extended metaphor about sheep-farming, comparing himself to a shepherd, a sheep-farmer. Here, Gentile believers are compared to sheep belonging to the same shepherd but living in a different fold (pen). However, you should not mention Gentiles in your translation. Here are some ways that the other sheep and Gentile believers are similar:

These believers also belong to Jesus, as these other sheep belong to the same shepherd.
Until that time they were separated from the others, with different homes.
Jesus intended to include or unite the groups, as a shepherd might combine different groups of sheep that he owns.

Here are other ways to translate this figure of speech:

I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. (NET)

There are other sheep belonging to me that are not in this sheep pen. (GNT)

I also have other sheep that are not from this pen. (GW)

It is good to keep the main images of this metaphor. However, it may be possible to help your readers understand that it is a figure of speech. You may be able to use a word that can refer to where people live as well as sheep. For example:

I have other sheep with a different home

this fold: This phrase refers to the sheep pen where the sheep stayed at night and were safe. The Greek word translated as fold is the same word that the BSB translates as “sheepfold” in 10:1b. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

this sheep pen (NIV)

this pen (GW)

10:16b

I must bring them in as well,

It is necessary for me to bring them as well.
God wants me to include/lead these people as well,

I must bring them in as well: The phrase as well here means “in addition to the sheep belonging to this fold.” Jesus used this figure of speech to say that he had to bring Gentiles to know him as Savior. It was what God wanted him to do, and so he needed to do it. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I must bring them also (NRSV)

I must lead these too (NJB)

10:16c

and they will listen to My voice.

They also will listen to what I say,
and these people will also follow me.

they will listen to My voice: This clause indicates that these other sheep will follow Jesus as their shepherd. They will trust and obey him as their shepherd. In some languages it may be natural to say:

they will listen to what I say

they will listen to me

10:16d

Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

and all my sheep will be one flock with one shepherd.
So then there will be only one group of sheep and I alone will be their shepherd.

Then: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Then here introduces the final result of Jesus bringing other sheep. Here are other ways to translate this conjunction:

and (GNT)

So (NRSV)

there will be one flock: The word flock here means “group of sheep.” There is a textual problem here:

Some manuscripts say there will be. For example:
there will be one flock of sheep (CEV) (BSB, RSV, NRSV, NIV, KJV, ESV, REB, NJB, NET, NLT, CEV, NCV)
Some manuscripts say “they will become.” For example:
they will become one flock (GNT) (GNT, NASB, probably GW)

The two options mean almost the same thing, that all the sheep that follow Jesus will be united in one group. This is a figurative way of saying that all nations and peoples who believe in Jesus will belong together. It is recommended that you say this in the way that is most natural in your language. If both options are acceptable, you may want to follow the major-language translation used in your area.

one flock: A flock is a group of one kind of animals, here sheep. Use the word that describes a group of sheep that live and belong together, that one shepherd cares for (looks after). It may be natural to say:

only one flock (NJB)

one flock of sheep (CEV)

one shepherd: This phrase is a short way of saying “and there will be one shepherd.” Jesus will be that one shepherd. He will guide and care for believers from every people group and nation. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

and one shepherd (NET)

with one shepherd (GNT)

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἄλλα πρόβατα ἔχω, ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀλλά πρόβατα ἔχω ἅ οὐκ ἐστίν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης κἀκεῖνα δεῖ μέ ἀγαγεῖν καί τῆς φωνῆς μού ἀκούσουσιν καί γενήσονται μία ποίμνη εἱς ποιμήν)

Jesus uses other sheep to refer to his followers who are not Jews. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [I have disciples who are not from the Jews]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης

¬the field this

Jesus uses sheep pen to refer to the people of Israel. See the discussion of this in the General Notes for this chapter. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the Jewish people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

κἀκεῖνα & ἀγαγεῖν

also_those & ˓to˒_bring

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that this phrase would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. This could mean: (1) Jesus will bring them to himself, as in the UST. (2) Jesus will bring them to God. Alternate translation: [to bring them also to God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσιν

¬the ˱of˲_the voice (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀλλά πρόβατα ἔχω ἅ οὐκ ἐστίν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης κἀκεῖνα δεῖ μέ ἀγαγεῖν καί τῆς φωνῆς μού ἀκούσουσιν καί γενήσονται μία ποίμνη εἱς ποιμήν)

Here, hear refers to listening to something with the intent to heed it and respond appropriately. See how you translated this word in [10:8](../10/08.md). Alternate translation: [they will heed my voice]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μία ποίμνη

one flock

Jesus uses flock to refer to all of his followers, including Jews and non-Jews, as if they are one group, like a flock of sheep. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a simile or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [one group]
