Good shepherd
the Holy Bible

--John--

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 robber. (10:1)

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. (10:2)

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. (10:3)

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (10:4)

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (10:5)

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. (10:6)

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. (10:7)

All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. (10:8)

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (10:9)

The 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. (10:10)

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (10:11)

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. (10:12)

The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. (10:13)

I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. (10:14)

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. (10:15)

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. (10:16)
