¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, *he* is a thief and a robber; ² but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep. ³ To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. ⁴ When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. ⁵ But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers. ⁶ This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them. ⁷ Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. ⁹ I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly. ¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep: ¹² but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep. ¹³ Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine, ¹⁵ as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:

³⁶ But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

³ Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
