John 10:7
Compare all
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.  
17 “Therefore My Father aloves Me, bbecause I lay down My life that I may take it again.  
18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I ahave power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. bThis command I have received from My Father.”  
19 Therefore athere was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.  
20 And many of them said, a“He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?”  
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. aCan a demon bopen the eyes of the blind?”  

The Shepherd Knows His Sheep

22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple, ain Solomon’s porch.  
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in1 doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”  
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. aThe works that I do in My Father’s name, they bbear witness of Me.  
26 But ayou do not believe, because you are not of My sheep,1 as I said to you.  
27 aMy sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
