John 10:1-16

¹Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), he that cometh not in by the door into the fold of the sheep, but ascendeth up by another way, is a night thief and a day thief.

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

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

⁴And when he hath done out or he hath sent out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep (pur)sue him (or and the sheep follow him); for they know his voice.

⁵But they (pur)sue not an alien, but flee from him; for they have not known the voice of aliens. (But they do not follow a stranger, but flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.)

⁶Jesus said to them this proverb; but they knew not what he spake to them.

⁷Therefore Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), I am the door of the sheep.

⁸As many as have come, were night thieves and day thieves, but the sheep heard not them (or but the sheep did not listen to them).

⁹I am the door. If any man shall enter by me, he shall be saved; and he shall go in, and shall go out, and he shall find pastures.

¹⁰A night thief cometh not, no but that he steal, slay, and lose, (or except to steal, kill, and destroy); and I came, (so) that they (can) have life, and have (it) more plenteously.

¹¹I am a good shepherd; a good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

¹²But an hired hind, and that is not the shepherd, (or But a hired hand, and who is not the shepherd), whose be not the sheep his own or whose the sheep be not his own, seeth a wolf coming, and he leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf ravisheth (or snatcheth up), and scattereth the sheep.

¹³And the hired hind fleeth, for he is an hired hind, (or And the hired hand fleeth, for he is but a hired hand), and it pertaineth not to him of the sheep.

¹⁴I am a good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.

¹⁵As the Father hath known me, I know the Father; and I put (forth or lay down) my life for my sheep.

¹⁶I have other sheep, that be not of this fold, and it behooveth me to bring them together, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be made one fold and one shepherd.
