John 10:9-17
-
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.
-
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
-
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
-
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
-
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
-
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
