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.

MSG (6-10)Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep rustlers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

10:9 will be saved (or will find safety): As gatekeeper, Jesus keeps away those who might harm his sheep, keeping his sheep inside the pen where they are safe.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα
I am the door
Here Jesus uses the word gate to say that he provides access into heaven, where God dwells. See how you translated this phrase in 10:7. Alternate translation: “I am like the gate”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
δι’ ἐμοῦ ἐάν τις εἰσέλθῃ
by me if anyone /may/_come_in
Here Jesus uses enters through me to refer to trusting in him for salvation. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “If anyone believes in me for salvation”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σωθήσεται
˱he˲_/will_be_being/_saved
Here, saved refers to being saved from the eternal punishment in hell that all people deserve because of their sins. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “he will be saved from hell”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σωθήσεται
˱he˲_/will_be_being/_saved
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will save him” or “I will save him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
εἰσελεύσεται, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται
/will_be/_coming_in and /will_be/_coming_out
The phrase go in and go out is a common Old Testament idiom meaning to travel and move around freely in a safe environment. If this might confuse your readers, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “he will move about freely” or “he will go around in a safe environment”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
νομὴν εὑρήσει
pasture /will_be/_finding
Jesus uses the phrase find pasture to refer to having one’s needs provided for. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will find sustenance” or “will receive everything that he needs”
