John 10:7

John 10:7

5 Yet they will by no means follow a ^astranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

Jesus the Good Shepherd

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9 ^aI am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

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.

11 ^a“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and ^aleaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd; and ^aI know My sheep, and ^bam known by My own.

15 ^aAs the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; ^band I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 And ^aother sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; ^band there will be one flock and one shepherd.
