* Verily , verily , I say unto you , He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold , but climbeth up some other way , the same is a thief and a robber . * But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep . * To him the porter openeth ; and the sheep hear his voice : and he calleth his own sheep by name , and leadeth them out . * And when he putteth forth his own sheep , he goeth before them , and the sheep follow him : for they know his voice . * And a stranger will they not follow , but will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers . * This parable spake Jesus unto them : but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them . * Then said Jesus unto them again , Verily , verily , I say unto you , I am the door of the sheep . * All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers : but the sheep did not hear them . * I am the door : by me if any man enter in , he shall be saved , and shall go in and out , and find pasture . * The thief cometh not , but for to steal , and to kill , and to destroy : I am come that they might have life , and that they might have it more abundantly . * I am the good shepherd : the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . * But he that is an hireling , and not the shepherd , whose own the sheep are not , seeth the wolf coming , and leaveth the sheep , and fleeth : and the wolf catcheth them , and scattereth the sheep . * The hireling fleeth , because he is an hireling , and careth not for the sheep . * I am the good shepherd , and know my sheep , and am known of mine . * As the Father knoweth me , even so know I the Father : and I lay down my life for the sheep . * And other sheep I have , which are not of this fold : them also I must bring , and they shall hear my voice ; and there shall be one fold , and one shepherd . * Therefore doth my Father love me , because I lay down my life , that I might take it again . * No man taketh it from me , but I lay it down of myself . I have power to lay it down , and I have power to take it again . This commandment have I received of my Father . * There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings . * And many of them said , He hath a devil , and is mad ; why hear ye him ? * Others said , These are not the words of him that hath a devil . Can a devil open the eyes of the blind ?
