 # the one who does not gather with me scatters
 
-Jesus is using a metaphor that refers to a person either gathering the flock of sheep to a shepherd or making them scatter away from the shepherd. Jesus means that a person is either helping to make people become disciples of Jesus or he is making people reject Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
+A person is either helping to make people become disciples of Jesus or he is making people reject Jesus. Alternate translation: “whoever does not gather my sheep with me scatters them” or “whoever does not work with me works against what I am doing”
