Yohanes 10:5-6

10:5 They will never follow a stranger, ¹  but will run away from him, because they do not recognize ²  the stranger’s voice.” ³  10:6 Jesus told them this parable, ⁴  but they ⁵  did not understand ⁶  what he was saying to them.

[10:5]  ¹ tn Or “someone whom they do not know.”

[10:5]  ² tn Grk “know.”

[10:5]  ³ tn Or “the voice of someone they do not know.”

[10:6]  ⁴ sn A parable is a fairly short narrative that has symbolic meaning. The Greek word παροιμίαν (paroimian) is used again in 16:25, 29. This term does not occur in the synoptic gospels, where παραβολή (parabolh) is used. Nevertheless it is similar, denoting a short narrative with figurative or symbolic meaning.

[10:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “these.”

[10:6]  ⁶ tn Or “comprehend.”
