    1Jesus as the Good Shepherd“I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

    2The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

    3The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

    4When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

    5They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.”

    6Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

    7So Jesus said again,“I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.

    8All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

    9I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and find pasture.

    11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

    12The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.

    13Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.

    14“I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me–

    15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father– and I lay down my life for the sheep.

    16I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.

    17This is why the Father loves me– because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.
