John 10:7-18

7SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them againG3825, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, I amG1510 1the doorG2374 of the sheepG4263. 8AllG3956 whoG3745 cameG2064 beforeG4253 Me are 2thievesG2812 and robbersG3027, but the sheepG4263 did not hearG191 them. 93I 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 4may haveG2192 lifeG2222, and 5haveG2192 it abundantlyG4053.

11“6I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166; the goodG2570 shepherdG4166 7laysG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263. 12He who is a hiredG3411 handG3411, and not a 8shepherdG4166, 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. 149I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166, and 10I knowG1097 My ownG1699 and My ownG1699 knowG1097 Me, 15evenG2531 as 11the FatherG3962 knowsG1097 Me and I knowG1097 the FatherG3962; and 12I layG5087 downG5087 My lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263. 16I haveG2192 13otherG243 sheepG4263, whichG3739 are not of thisG3778 foldG833; I mustG1163 bringG71 them alsoG2548, and they will hearG191 My voiceG5456; and they will becomeG1096 14oneG1520 flockG4167 with 15oneG1520 shepherdG4166. 17For thisG3778 reasonG1223 the FatherG3962 lovesG25 Me, becauseG3754 I 16layG5087 downG5087 My lifeG5590 soG2443 that I may takeG2983 it againG3825. 1817NoG3762 oneG3762 has takenG142 it awayG142 from Me, but I 18layG5087 it downG5087 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683. I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to layG5087 it downG5087, and I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to takeG2983 it up againG3825. 19ThisG3778 commandmentG1785 I receivedG2983 from My FatherG3962.”
