John 10 (NKJV)
10:7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All who ever came *before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
10:12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
10:13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
10:15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
10:16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
10:17 "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
10:18 No one takes 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 command I have received from My Father."
