John 10:1-10

1 Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber.

2 He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe:

3 to him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe by name and leadeth them out.

4 And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce.

5 A straunger they will not folowe but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.

6 This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them.

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.
