Yohanes 10:16

10:16 I have ¹  other sheep that do not come from ²  this sheepfold. ³  I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, ⁴  so that ⁵  there will be one flock and ⁶  one shepherd.

Yohanes 17:11

17:11 I ⁷  am no longer in the world, but ⁸  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ⁹  in your name ¹⁰  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ¹¹ 

[10:16]  ¹ tn Grk “And I have.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[10:16]  ² tn Or “that do not belong to”; Grk “that are not of.”

[10:16]  ³ sn The statement I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold almost certainly refers to Gentiles. Jesus has sheep in the fold who are Jewish; there are other sheep which, while not of the same fold, belong to him also. This recalls the mission of the Son in 3:16-17, which was to save the world – not just the nation of Israel. Such an emphasis would be particularly appropriate to the author if he were writing to a non-Palestinian and primarily non-Jewish audience.

[10:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “they will hear my voice.”

[10:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “voice, and.”

[10:16]  ⁶ tn The word “and” is not in the Greek text, but must be supplied to conform to English style. In Greek it is an instance of asyndeton (omission of a connective), usually somewhat emphatic.

[17:11]  ⁷ tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:11]  ⁸ tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

[17:11]  ⁹ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

[17:11]  ¹⁰ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:11]  ¹¹ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.
