John 10:1–10

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a ^arobber. ²But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. ³To him ^bthe porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. ⁴And when he ^cputteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. ⁵And ^da stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. ⁶This ^eparable spake Jesus unto them: ^fbut they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

⁷Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. ⁸All that ever came before me are thieves and ^arobbers: but the sheep did not hear them. ⁹I am ^gthe door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and ^hshall go in and out, and ⁱfind pasture. ¹⁰The 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.
