1: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2: But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3: To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5: And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8: All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
