I Am the Good Shepherd

7

Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8

All that 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 go out, and shall find pasture.

10

The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

11

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

12

He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them:

13

he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14

I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,

15

even as the Father knoweth me, and I know 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 they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

17

Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

18

No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
