Parable of the Good Shepherd

“Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

But the one who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep listen to his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

Then the slave woman who was the doorkeeper *said to Peter, “You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.”

Jesus among His Disciples

Now when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were together due to fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and *said to them, “Peace be to you.”

Eight days later His disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be to you.”
