Yochanan 10:13-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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]

17. Therefore, HaAv has ahavah for me, because I lay down my neshamah that I may take it up again.

18. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have samchut (authority) to lay it down, and I have samchut to receive it again. This mitzvah I received from HaAv of me. [YESHAYAH 52:13-53:12]

19. There was a machloket (division of dissension) again among those of Yehudah, because of these dvarim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

20. And many of them were saying, He has a shed (demon), and He is meshugga --why do you listen to him? [MELACHIM BAIS 9:11; YIRMEYAH 29:26]
