John 10: 1 - 10
|
| 1 | "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber; |
| 2 | but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| 3 | To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. |
| 4 | When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. |
| 5 | A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." |
| 6 | This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. |
| 7 | So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. |
| 8 | All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. |
| 9 | I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. |
| 10 | The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. |
