John 10:5-12
-
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
-
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake 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: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
-
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
-
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
-
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
