John 10:1–10

Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.

²But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

³To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.

⁴And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

⁵But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.

⁶This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke.

⁷Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

⁸All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.

⁹I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures.

¹⁰The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.
