John 10:1-11

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

5 And they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.

6 Jesus spoke this parable unto them, but they did not understand what it was that he spoke unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I AM the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I AM the door; whosoever enters in by me shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture.

10 The thief comes not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy the sheep; I am come that they might have life and that they might have it in abundance.

11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
