YHN 10:26 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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 10:22–42: 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.

10:26

But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.

But you^(plur) do not believe me, because you^(plur) do not belong to my flock of sheep.
But you^(plur) are not my sheep, and so you^(plur) do not believe me.

But: The Greek word that the BSB translates as But introduces a strong contrast with the previous clause. Although the people saw the evidence of Jesus’ miracles, they did not believe him.

because: This word here introduces the real reason that Jesus’ opponents did not believe.

you are not My sheep: This clause returns to the metaphor of Jesus as the shepherd, the sheep farmer. It indicates that these unbelieving people were not sheep that belonged to Jesus’ flock (group of sheep). They thought that because they were Jewish, they were God’s people. Jesus implied that they were wrong. Here are other ways to translate this clause

you do not belong to my sheep (NRSV)

you are not sheep of my flock (REB)

Some old Greek manuscripts include an additional clause “just as I told you.” Modern English translations do not include the clause because scholars do not think it was part of the original text. However, the KJV includes it (“as I said unto you”). So you may want to include the clause if a major translation in your area includes it.

you refuse to believe: This clause refers to believing Jesus or believing what Jesus said. In some languages it may be natural to supply an object for the verb believe. For example:

you don’t believe me (NLT)

you: The pronoun you is plural and refers to Jesus’ opponents. The Greek text emphasizes this pronoun. The problem was that his opponents (you) did not believe, not that Jesus did not tell them.

General Comment on 10:26

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of the clauses in 10:26. For example:

but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep (NRSV)
