¹ Y LLEGÁNDOSE los Fariséos y los Saducéos, para tentar[le,] le pedian que les mostrase señal del cielo.

² Mas él respondiendo, les dijo: Cuando es la tarde del dia, decís: Sereno; porque el cielo tiene arreboles:

³ Y á la mañana: Hoy tempestad; porque tiene arreboles el cielo triste. Hipócritas, que sabeis hacer diferencia en la faz del cielo; ¿y en las señales de los tiempos no podeis?

⁴ La generacion mala y adulterina demanda señal, mas señal no le será dada sino la señal de Jonás profeta. Y dejándolos, se fué.

⁵ Y viniendo sus discípulos de la otra parte [del lago,] se habian olvidado de tomar pan.

⁶ Y Jesus les dijo: Mirad, y guardáos de la levadura de los Fariséos, y de los Saducéos.

⁷ Y ellos pensaban dentro de sí, diciendo: [Esto dice] porque no tomamos pan.

⁸ Y entendiéndo[lo] Jesus, les dijo: ¿Por qué pensais dentro de vosotros, [hombres] de poca fe, que no tomasteis pan?

⁹ ¿No entendeis aun, ni os acordais de los cinco panes [entre] cinco mil [hombres,] y cuántos cestos alzásteis?

¹⁰ ¿Ni de los siete panes [entre] cuatro mil, y cuántas espuertas tomásteis?

¹¹ ¿Cómo [es que] no entendeis que no por el pan os dije, que os guardaseis de la levadura de los Fariséos y de los Saducéos?

¹² Entónces entendieron que no les habia dicho que se guardasen de la levadura de pan, sino de la doctrina de los Fariséos y de los Saducéos.

¹³ Y viniendo Jesus á las partes de Cesaréa de Filipo, preguntó á sus discípulos, diciendo: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que es el Hijo del hombre?

¹⁴ Y ellos dijeron: Unos, Juan el Bautista; y otros, Elías; y otros, Jeremías, ó alguno de los profetas.

¹⁵ El les dice: Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy?

¹⁶ Y respondiendo Simon Pedro, dijo: Tu eres el Cristo, el Hijo del Dios viviente.

¹⁷ Entónces respondiendo Jesus, le dijo: Bienaventurado eres, Simon, hijo de Jonás: porque no te [lo] reveló carne ni sangre; mas mi Padre que [está] en los cielos.

¹⁸ Mas yo tambien te digo, que tú eres Pedro; y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi iglesia; y las puertas del infierno no prevalecerán contra ella.

¹⁹ Y á tí daré las llaves del reino de los cielos: y todo lo que ligares en la tierra, será ligado en los cielos: y todo lo que desatares en la tierra, será desatado en los cielos.

²⁰ Entónces mandó á sus discípulos que á nadie dijesen que él era Jesus el Cristo.

²¹ Desde aquel tiempo comenzó Jesus á declarar á sus discípulos, que le convenia ir á Jerusalem, y padecer mucho de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar al tercero dia.

²² Y Pedro, tomándole aparte, comenzó á reprenderle, diciendo: Señor, ten compasion de tí: en ninguna manera esto te acontezca.

²³ Entónces él volviéndose, dijo á Pedro: Quítate de delante de mí, Satanás; me eres escándalo; porque no entiendes lo que [es] de Dios, sino lo que [es] de los hombres.

²⁴ Entónces Jesus dijo á sus discípulos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese á sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame.

²⁵ Porque cualquiera que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y cualquiera que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.

²⁶ Porque ¿de qué aprovecha al hombre, si granjeare todo el mundo, y perdiere su alma? O, ¿qué recompensa dará el hombre por su alma?

²⁷ Porque el Hijo del hombre vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con sus ángeles, y entónces pagará á cada uno conforme á sus obras.

²⁸ De cierto os digo, [que] hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no gustarán la muerte, hasta que hayan visto el Hijo del hombre viniendo en su reino.

¹ "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

² But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

³ The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

⁴ Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

⁵ They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers."

⁶ Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them.

⁷ Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.

⁸ All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

¹⁰ The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

¹² He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.

¹³ The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;

¹⁵ even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

¹⁶ I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

¹⁷ Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

¹⁸ No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

¹⁹ Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

²⁰ Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?"

²¹ Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"

²² It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

²³ It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

²⁴ The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

²⁵ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.

²⁶ But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

²⁸ I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

³⁰ I and the Father are one."

³¹ Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.

³² Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"

³³ The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

³⁴ Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'

³⁵ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),

³⁶ do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'

³⁷ If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.

³⁸ But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

³⁹ They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

⁴⁰ He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

⁴¹ Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."

⁴² Many believed in him there.
