Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 10
³ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
⁴ When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
⁵ A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
⁶ This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.
⁷ So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
⁸ All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
⁹ I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
¹¹ "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
¹² He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
¹³ He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.
