2. and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3. to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
4. and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5. and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6. This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7. Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you--I am the door of the sheep;
8. all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
9. I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.
10. `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
11. `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;
12. and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
13. and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.
