Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

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 10:1–6

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.

10:2

But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

The man who enters the sheep pen by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep.
It is the real shepherd who walks through the door into the courtyard of the sheep.

But: In the Greek text, this sentence connects to the previous sentence with the common conjunction that indicates contrast. The BSB translates this conjunction literally as But. The contrast is between those who climb the wall of the pen and those who enter through the gate.

the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep: In this next part of the extended metaphor, Jesus contrasted the shepherd to the thieves he just mentioned. Unlike the thieves and robbers, the shepherd enters the sheepfold by walking through the gate. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. (GNT)

But it is the shepherd of the sheep who goes in by the door.

enters: In some languages it may be necessary to say what the shepherd enters. For example:

enters the sheepfold

goes into the sheep pen

the shepherd of the sheep: This phrase refers to the man who takes care of the sheep, who leads, protects, and provides for them. Verses 12–16 show that the shepherd that Jesus spoke about was the sheep’s owner and not a hired worker. If possible, avoid using a term that refers to a paid worker. However, the most important idea that must be included is that this person takes care of the sheep. If you do not have a word for shepherd, you may need to use a phrase that describes him. For example:

the one who cares for the sheep

the sheep farmer

the sheep: See the note explaining sheep in 2:14a. Also see how you translated the word there. In Jesus’ figure of speech, the sheep represent his followers, but he did not make that explicit here. Only later did it become clear that the sheep are his followers.
