G3588–ὁ–ho

To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.

ὁ ho “the”τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “to the”τὰ ta “<the>”

When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

τὰ ta “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τὴν tēn “the”

But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them.

τὰ ta “the”

I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.

ἡ hē “the”

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.

"I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.

The hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.

ὁ ho “the”τὰ ta “the”τὸν ton “the”τὰ ta “the”ὁ ho “the”τὰ ta “<the>”

For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep.

ὁ ho “this”τῶν tōn “the”

"I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me,

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τὰ ta “<the>”τὰ ta “those”

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.

ὁ ho “the”τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”τῶν tōn “the”

I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.

τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “to the”

For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

ὁ ho “the”τὴν tēn “the”

No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."

The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter,

τὰ ta “the”τοῖς tois “<the>”

and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico,

ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “the”τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly."

οἱ hoi “the”τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “the”

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.

ὁ ho “<the>”τὰ ta “The”τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
