¹ In truth I tell you, whoever does not go into the sheepfold through the door, but climbs up at some other place, that man is a thief and a robber; ² But the man who goes in through the door is shepherd to the sheep. ³ For him the watchman opens the door; and the sheep listen to his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. ⁴ When he has brought them all out, he walks in front of them, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice. ⁵ They will not follow a stranger, but will run away from him; because they do not know a stranger's voice." ⁶ This was the allegory that Jesus told them, but they did not understand of what he was speaking. ⁷ So he continued: "In truth I tell you, I am the Door for the sheep. ⁸ All who came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them. ⁹ I am the Door; he who goes in through me will be safe, and he will go in and out and find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in greater fullness. ¹¹ I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. ¹² The hired man who is not a shepherd, and who does not own the sheep, when he sees a wolf coming, leaves them and runs away; then the wolf seizes them, and scatters the flock. ¹³ He does this because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the Good Shepherd; and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me-- ¹⁵ Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ I have other sheep besides, which do not belong to this fold; I must lead them also, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under 'one Shepherd.'
