John 10:1-15
1“TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, he who does not enterG1525 by the doorG2374 into the foldG833 of the sheepG4263, but climbsG305 up someG237 otherG237 wayG237, he is 1a thiefG2812 and a robberG3027. 2But he who entersG1525 by the doorG2374 is 2a shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263. 3To him the doorkeeperG2377 opensG455, and the sheepG4263 hearG191 3his voiceG5456, and he callsG5455 his ownG2398 sheepG4263 by nameG3686 and 4leadsG1806 them out. 4WhenG3752 he putsG1544 forthG1544 allG3956 his ownG2398, he goesG4198 aheadG1715 of them, and the sheepG4263 followG190 him becauseG3754 they knowG3609 5his voiceG5456. 5A strangerG245 they simply will not followG190, but will fleeG5343 from him, becauseG3754 they do not knowG3609 6the voiceG5456 of strangersG245.” 6ThisG3778 7figureG3942 of speechG3942 JesusG2424 spokeG3004 to them, but they did not understandG1097 whatG5101 those things were whichG3739 He had been sayingG2980 to them.
7SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them againG3825, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, I amG1510 8the doorG2374 of the sheepG4263. 8AllG3956 whoG3745 cameG2064 beforeG4253 Me are 9thievesG2812 and robbersG3027, but the sheepG4263 did not hearG191 them. 910I amG1510 the doorG2374; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 entersG1525 throughG1223 Me, he will be savedG4982, and will goG1525G1831 in and out and findG2147 pastureG3542. 10The thiefG2812 comesG2064 onlyG3756G1487G3361 to stealG2813 and killG2380 and destroyG622; I cameG2064 that they 11may haveG2192 lifeG2222, and 12haveG2192 it abundantlyG4053.
11“13I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166; the goodG2570 shepherdG4166 14laysG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263. 12He who is a hiredG3411 handG3411, and not a 15shepherdG4166, whoG3739 is not the ownerG2398 of the sheepG4263, seesG2334 the wolfG3074 comingG2064, and leavesG863 the sheepG4263 and fleesG5343, and the wolfG3074 snatchesG726 them and scattersG4650 them. 13He flees becauseG3754 he is a hiredG3411 handG3411 and is not concernedG3199 aboutG4012 the sheepG4263. 1416I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166, and 17I knowG1097 My ownG1699 and My ownG1699 knowG1097 Me, 15evenG2531 as 18the FatherG3962 knowsG1097 Me and I knowG1097 the FatherG3962; and 19I layG5087 downG5087 My lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263.
