John 10:7-11

7 So he tried again. "I'll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep.

8 All those others are up to no good - sheep stealers, every one of them. But the sheep didn't listen to them.

9 I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for - will freely go in and out, and find pasture.

10 A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

11 "I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary.
