John 10:1-11

1“TrulyG281, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, the one who does not enterG1525 by the doorG2374 into the foldG833 of the sheepG4263, but climbsG305 upG305 someG237 otherG237 wayG237, he is 1a thiefG2812 and a robberG3027. 2But the one who entersG1525 by the doorG2374 is 2a shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263. 3To him the doorkeeperG2377 opensG455, and the sheepG4263 listenG191 to 3his voiceG5456, and he callsG5455 his ownG2398 sheepG4263 by nameG3686 and 4leadsG1806 them outG1806. 4WhenG3752 he putsG1544 allG3956 his ownG2398 sheep outsideG1544, he goesG4198 aheadG1715 of them, and the sheepG4263 followG190 him becauseG3754 they knowG3609 5his voiceG5456. 5However, a strangerG245 they simply will not followG190, but will fleeG5343 from him, becauseG3754 they do not knowG3609 6the voiceG5456 of strangersG245.” 6JesusG2424 toldG3004 them thisG3778 7figureG3942 ofG3942 speechG3942, but they did not understandG1097 whatG5101 the things whichG3739 He was sayingG2980 to them 8meant.

7SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them againG3825, “TrulyG281, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, I amG1510 9the doorG2374 of the sheepG4263. 8AllG3956 thoseG3745 whoG3745 cameG2064 beforeG4253 Me are 10thievesG2812 and robbersG3027, but the sheepG4263 did not listenG191 to them. 911I amG1510 the doorG2374; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 entersG1525 throughG1223 Me, he will be savedG4982, and will goG1525G1831 inG1525 and outG1831 and findG2147 pastureG3542. 10The thiefG2812 comesG2064 onlyG3756G1487G3361 to stealG2813 and killG2380 and destroyG622; I cameG2064 soG2443 thatG2443 they 12would haveG2192 lifeG2222, and 13haveG2192 it abundantlyG4053.

11“14I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166; the goodG2570 shepherdG4166 15laysG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263.
