8 All that ever came before me who testified not of 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 out, and find pasture.
10 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.
11 I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12 And the shepherd is not as a hireling, whose own the sheep are not, who seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth the sheep and scattereth them.
13 For I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
14 But he who is a hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I 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 there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it 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 have I received of my Father.
