John 10:7-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am ^(A)the door of the sheep. ⁸ All who came before Me are ^(B)thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. ^9 (C)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 ^(D)may have life, and ^[a]have it abundantly.

¹¹ “^(E)I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd ^(F)lays down His life for the sheep. ¹² He who is a hired hand, and not a ^(G)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. ^14 (H)I am the good shepherd, and ^(I)I know My own and My own know Me, ¹⁵ even as ^(J)the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and ^(K)I lay down My life for the sheep.
