Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entreth not into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

And when he bringeth forth his sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him; because they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.

8 All that 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.
10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
The thief cometh only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and may have it in perfection.

12 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
But the hireling, that is not the true shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; so there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
For this doth the Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I may take it again.
18 No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.
None 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 I have received from my Father.

And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void, )
36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am [the] Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in Him.

42 And many believed on him there.
