Yochanan 10:10-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. The ganav does not come except in order that he may steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have Chayyim (Life) and that they may have it more abundantly. [TEHILLIM 65:11]

11. I am the Ro'eh HaTov (the Good Shepherd). The Ro'eh HaTov lays down his neshamah for the tzon. [TEHILLIM 23:1; YESHAYAH 40:11; YECHEZKEL 34:11-16,23; YESHAYAH 53:7,8,10]

12. The hireling, the one who is not the Ro'eh--the hireling, the one to whom the tzon does not belong--this hireling sees the ze'ev (wolf) coming and abandons the tzon and runs for his life and the ze'ev seizes them and scatters them. [ZECHARYAH 11:16]

13. This happens because he is a hireling and the tzon means nothing to him.

14. Ani Hu the Ro'eh HaTov, and I have da'as of my tzon and my tzon has da'as of me. [SHEMOT 33:12]

15. Just as HaAv has da'as of me and I have da'as of HaAv, so I lay down my neshamah for the tzon.

16. And another tzon I have which is not of this mikhla (fold [enclosure]); those also it is necessary for me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and they will become eder echad with Ro'eh echad (One flock with one Shepherd). [YESHAYAH 56:8; YECHEZKEL 34:23; 37:24]
