1 Very honestly, I tell you
Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen (The Kingdom) by The Narrow Gate
(Passover),
but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
|
1 “Very truly I
tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but
climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
|
|
2 The one who enters by The Narrow
Gate (Passover)
is the Exalted Shepherd (VIRGO) of the (rest of the) Sheep.
|
2 The one who
enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
|
|
3 The Gatekeeper (Yahuah) opens The Narrow Gate for
him (the Shepherd Yahusha who leads us out of a life of bondage into a New
Life of Freedom from sin by his Passover Sacrifice), and the Sheep (we too are
Lambs of Yahuah)
listen to his (Yahusha’s)
voice (example). He calls his own Sheep
(Passover Lambs Exodus 12:1-3) by name and leads them out (of bondage
to the Nations).
|
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 When he (the Exalted
Shepherd/VIRGO)
has brought out all his own (Lambs of Yahuah), he goes on ahead of them (he is the
‘Forefather of Everlasting Life’ Isaiah 9:6 Offering his life as a Living
Sacrifice and his death results in eternal life), and his Sheep follow him (in the
Passover example he set by Offering their own lives each Passover to fulfill
The Law Exodus 12:1-3)
because they know his voice (John 13:15).
|
4 When he has
brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him
because they know his voice.
|
|
5 But they will never follow a
stranger (Incarnated demi-gods); in fact, they will run away from him (any
“Messiah” worshiped as “God in the flesh" Romans 1) because they do not recognize a
stranger’s voice.
|
5 But they will
never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do
not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
|
|
6 Yahusha used this
figure of speech (Mystery Language Matthew 13:10-13), but the Pharisees did not
understand what he was telling them (1 Cor. 1:23).
|
6 Jesus used this
figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling
them.
|
|
7 Therefore Yahusha said again,
Very truly I tell you, I am (my example is) The Narrow Gate (the
Passover Lamb and True and Living Way to follow) for the (rest of the) Sheep (Lambs of Yahuah).
|
7 Therefore Jesus
said again, “Very
truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
|
|
8 All who have come before me (pagan Incarnated
god/men) are
thieves and robbers (robbing Yahuah of His Immortality and Glory as
Creator Romans 1),
but the (True)
Sheep have not listened to them.
|
8 All who have come
before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
|
|
9 I am The Way
(my example is the True Way to eternal life John 14:6 through) through The Narrow Gate (of Passover); whoever enters following me (follows
Yahusha’s reverent submissive example of Mikveh, Circumcision, and
Offering on Passover)
will be saved (from 'the angel of death' which will Pass Over them. Yahuah
will save them as He did Yahusha Hebrews 5:7-11 the meaning of Passover). They will come in (from
bondage to the Nations Jeremiah 31 by following Yahusha’s example of Living
sacrifice on Passover during the Age of PISCES) and go out and find rest in The
Kingdom (Age of AQUARIUS, CANCER).
|
9 I am the gate;
whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and
find pasture.
|
|
10 The thief (The
Dragon)
comes only to steal and kill and destroy (by abolishing Passover for the
Way of the Gentiles the Babylonian celebration of
Ishtar/Easter in the corrupted Zodiac); I have come (to set the example and show The True
Way) that
they may have eternal life (AQUARIUS)
|
10 The thief comes
only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and
have it to the full.
|
|
11 I am the Exalted Shepherd (VIRGO)
and my example is the True Way (Isaiah 42:5-7) that leads to eternal life (John 14:5,6). The Exalted Shepherd (VIRGO) lays down his life (LIBRA to pay the
dowry for his Bride… it is not a human sacrifice, Yahusha willingly gave his
life to save his brothers John 15:13 as a Living Sacrifice on Passover) for the Sheep (to follow
as an example, as he Shepherds us through the gate, we are all Passover Lambs).
|
11 “I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
|
|
12 The hired hand, who is not the Shepherd and does
not know the Sheep, sees the wolf coming and runs away; leaving the Sheep to
be caught by the wolf, and scattered.
|
12 The hired hand is
not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming,
he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and
scatters it.
|
|
13 The hired hand runs because he
only serves for wages and does not care for the Sheep.
|
13 The man runs away
because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
|
|
14 I am the Righteous Shepherd, and I know my own
Sheep, and they know me (by The Word of His Testimony).
|
14 “I am the good
shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—
|
|
15 Just as The Father revealed me as a Lamb
slaughtered in The Heavenly Scroll, in the same way I know The Father through
the Works of His Hands (The Heavenly Scroll Psalm 19 and
Enoch 35:3);
and I lay down my life for the Sheep to fulfill His Will as it is written in
The Heavenly Scroll (Hebrews 10:7, Matthew 6:10).
|
15 just as the
Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
|
|
16 I also have other Sheep (to come
during the Age of PISCES)
which are not outside this fold (generation).
I must
bring those also, and they will hear my voice. And there will be One Fold,
and One Shepherd (he is The Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:6
consummating The covenant of Peace (with his blood, a Marriage covenant) who
re-unifies and makes peace between the House of Israel and the House of
Yahudah/Judah Ephesians 2 into Remnant Israel the New Bride).
|
16 I have other
sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will
listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
|
|
17 This is why my Father loves me (John 3:35, John
5:19, Isaiah 48:14):
Because I willingly lay down my life (to redeem my Bride LIBRA) in faith I will be risen from
the grave (CAPRICORNUS)
to fulfill His Will on Earth as it is written in The Heavenly Scroll.
|
17 The reason my
Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
|
|
18 No man takes it from me (it was not a human sacrifice),
but I willingly Offer my life for my Bride to pay the dowry and redeem her
from death (ARIES/LIBRA). I have been given that
authority in The Heavenly Scroll (to run this course as a Bridegroom
Psalm 19),
and in The Heavenly Scroll I have been promised on the authority of
my Father that I will receive eternal life (CAPRICORNUS). What I am telling you now is The
Word of His Testimony I have received from my Father written in the stars.
|
18 No one takes it
from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down
and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
|
|
19 These words divided the
Yahudaim.
|
19 The Jews who
heard these words were again divided.
|
|
20 Now many of them said; he has a
demon! He is mad! Why do you listen to him?
|
20 Many of them
said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”
|
|
21 Others said; These are not the
words of him who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
|
21 But others said,
“These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open
the eyes of the blind?”
|
|
22 Now it was the Feast of
Dedication in the Winter Tekufah (season).
|
22 Then came the
Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,
|
|
23 And Yahusha was walking in the
Outer Courts of The Temple, on Solomon's Porch,
|
23 and Jesus was in
the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
|
|
24 When the Yahudaim came,
surrounded him, and said to him; How long will you keep us in suspense? If
you are The Messiah, tell us!
|
24 The Jews who
were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense?
If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
|
|
25 Yahusha answered them: I told
you I came to fulfill The Heavenly Scroll, but you do not believe The Word of
His Testimony. The Works that I do in my Father's Name testify on my behalf
that I came to fulfill His Will written in The Heavenly Scroll.
|
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you,
but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,
|
|
26 But you do not believe, because
as I said you are not among my Sheep.
|
26 but you do not
believe because you are not my sheep.
|
|
27 My Sheep hear my voice (Shepherd/VIRGO), and I know them, and they
follow me (and walk The Way of Mikveh/AQUARIUS
out of the Nations/PISCES).
|
27 My sheep listen
to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
|
|
28 And I give them eternal life (AQUARIUS), and they will never perish;
neither will any man snatch them out of my hand.
|
28 I give them
eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my
hand.
|
|
29 My Father, Who gave them to me,
is Greater than all; and no man is able to snatch them out of my Father's
Hand:
|
29 My Father, who
has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my
Father’s hand.
|
|
30 I and my Father are One in Mind,
Will, Purpose, and Spirit. We are Family through covenant (John
17:19-21).
|
30 I and the Father
are one.”
|
|
31
Then the Yahudaim picked up stones again in order to stone him,
|
31 Again his Jewish
opponents picked up stones to stone him,
|
|
32 But Yahusha answered them: many
Righteous Works I have shown you from my Father. For which of those Works do
you stone me?
|
32 but Jesus said
to them, “I
have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you
stone me?”
|
|
33 The Yahudaim answered him,
saying; We do not stone you for a Righteous Work! We stone you only for
blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself a god!
|
33 “We are not
stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because
you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
|
|
34 Yahusha denied their false
accusation and said, Has it not been written in your Law (Psalm 82:6), I SAID, YOU ARE GODS, SONS OF
THE MOST HIGH?
|
34 Jesus answered
them, “Is
it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’?
|
|
35If Yahuah called our forefathers
‘gods’, to whom the Word of Yahuah came down from the stars (Psalm
119:89, Psalm 89:2 – “your Word”, LOGOS, is eternally preserved
in the stars, Genesis 15:5 – Abraham was shown The Heavenly Scroll) and the Scripture cannot be broken,
|
35 If he called them
‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside
|
|
36 why do you say of him, whom the
Father Sanctified and sent into the world in the flesh to fulfill The Word of
His Testimony proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll (Hebrews
10:7, Matthew 6:10),
You are blaspheming, because I said, I am the Son of God (he was
simply declaring the Birth Right given to ALL OF US)?
|
36 what about the
one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why
then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
|
|
37 If I do not fulfill The Works
of His Hands proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll (Psalm 19,
Enoch 35:3)
of My Father, do not believe me;
|
37 Do not believe me
unless I do the works of my Father.
|
|
38 but if I do them, though you do
not believe me, believe the Works, so that you may know and understand that
the Father is in covenant with me, and I in covenant with The Father (Zechariah
3, Isaiah 42:7-9, John 17:20-50).”
|
38 But if I do them,
even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and
understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
|
|
39 Because he declared he came with
the authority Father written in The Heavenly Scroll, they again sought to
arrest Yahusha, but he escaped from their hands.
|
39 Again they tried
to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
|
|
40 Yahusha then went back to the
other side of the Yardan/Jordan, to the place where John was teaching The
Way of Mikveh with Living Water at first, and there he stayed
there to avoid the Yahudaim because it was not yet his time to pay the dowry
for his Bride on Passover.
|
40 Then Jesus went
back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the
early days. There he stayed,
|
|
41 Now many came to Yahusha and
said; John performed no Acts of Power, but everything that John said about
this man was true.
|
41 and many people
came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John
said about this man was true.”
|
|
42 And many believed in Yahusha
there.
|
42 And in that
place many believed in Jesus.
