John 10:1-19

1Verily, verily, I sayG3004 to you, He that entersG1525 not in by the doorG2374 to the foldG833 of the sheepG4263, but mounts up elsewhere, he isG1510 a thiefG2812 and a robberG3027;

2but he that entersG1525 in by the doorG2374 isG1510 [the] shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263.

3To him the porter opensG455; and the sheepG4263 hearG191 his voiceG5456; and he callsG5455 his ownG2398 sheepG4263 by nameG3686, and leads them out.

4WhenG3752 he has putG1544 forth all his ownG2398, he goesG4198 before them, and the sheepG4263 followG190 him, because they know his voiceG5456.

5But they will not followG190 a strangerG245, but will fleeG5343 from him, because they know not the voiceG5456 of strangersG245.

6This allegory spokeG2980 JesusG2424 to them, but they did not knowG1097 what it wasG1510 [of] which he spokeG2980 to them.

7JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 againG3825 to them, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 to you, I amG1510 the doorG2374 of the sheepG4263.

8All whoever cameG2064 before me areG1510 thievesG2812 and robbersG3027; but the sheepG4263 did not hearG191 them.

9I amG1510 the doorG2374: if any oneG5100 enterG1525 in by me, he shall beG1510 savedG4982, and shall goG1831 in and shall goG1831 out and shall findG2147 pastureG3542.

10The thiefG2812 comesG2064 not but that he may stealG2813, and killG2380, and destroyG622: I am comeG2064 that they might have lifeG2222, and might have [it] abundantly.

11I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166. The goodG2570 shepherdG4166 laysG5087 downG5087 his lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263:

12but he who serves for wages, and who isG1510 not the shepherdG4166, whose ownG2398 the sheepG4263 areG1510 not, seesG2334 the wolfG3074 comingG2064, and leavesG863 the sheepG4263 and fleesG5343; and the wolfG3074 seizes them and scattersG4650 the sheepG4263.

13Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and isG1510 not himself concernedG3199 about the sheepG4263.

14I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166; and I knowG1097 those that areG1510 mine, and amG1510 knownG1097 of those that areG1510 mine,

15as the FatherG3962 knowsG1097 me and I knowG1097 the FatherG3962; and I lay downG5087 my lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263.

16And I have otherG243 sheepG4263 which areG1510 not of this foldG833: those alsoG2532 I must bringG71, and they shall hearG191 my voiceG5456; and there shall beG1510 oneG1520 flockG4167, oneG1520 shepherdG4166.

17On this accountG1223 the FatherG3962 lovesG25 me, because I lay downG5087 my lifeG5590 that I may takeG2983 it againG3825.

18No oneG3762 takesG142 it from me, but I lay it downG5087 of myself. I have authorityG1849 to lay it downG5087 and I have authorityG1849 to takeG142 it againG3825. I have receivedG2983 this commandmentG1785 of my FatherG3962.

19There was a divisionG4978 againG3825 among the JewsG2453 on accountG3056 of these wordsG3056;
