John 10:7-17

7 Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.

8 All even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them.

9 I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture.

10 The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly.

11 I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe.

12 An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.

13 The heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe.

14 I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne.

15 As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:

16 and other shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde.

17 Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne.
