I Am the Good Shepherd

7

Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.

8

All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.

9

I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.

10

The theefe commeth not, but for to steale, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance.

11

I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe.

12

But an hireling, and hee which is not the shepheard, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe comming, and hee leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattreth the sheepe.

13

So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe.

14

I am that good shepheard, and knowe mine, and am knowen of mine.

15

As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe.

16

Other sheepe I haue also, which are not of this folde: them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce: and there shalbe one sheepefolde, and one shepheard.

17

Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe.

18

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe: this commandement haue I receiued of my Father.
