John 10:7-11

Contemporary English Version

Jesus Is the Good Shepherd

⁷ Jesus said:

I tell you for certain that I am the gate for the sheep. ⁸ Everyone who came before me was a thief or a robber, and the sheep did not listen to any of them. ⁹ I am the gate. All who come in through me will be saved. Through me they will come and go and find pasture.

¹⁰ A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so everyone would have life, and have it fully. ^11 (A) I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives up his life for his sheep.
