4
And when he hath done out his own sheep [And when he hath sent out his own sheep], he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.
5
But they follow not an alien, but flee from him; for they have not known the voice of aliens.
6
Jesus said to them this proverb; but they knew not what he spake to them.
7
Therefore Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8
As many as have come, were night thieves and day thieves, but the sheep heard not them. [All how many ever came before me, be night thieves and day thieves, but the sheep heard not them.]
9
I am the door. If any man shall enter by me, he shall be saved; and he shall go in, and shall go out, and he shall find pastures.
10
A night thief cometh not, but that he steal, slay, and destroy; and I came, that they have life, and have more plenteously. [A night thief cometh not, but that he steal, and slay, and lose; I came, that they have life, and have more plenteously.]
11
I am a good shepherd; a good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12
But an hired hind, and that is not the shepherd, whose be not the sheep his own [whose the sheep be not his own], seeth a wolf coming, and he leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf snatcheth, and scattereth the sheep.
13
And the hired hind fleeth, for he is an hired hind, and it pertaineth not to him of the sheep.
14
I am a good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.
