The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

10 “I assure you, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold,
rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a
robber! 2 For a shepherd enters through the gate. 3 The gatekeeper
opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to
him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 After
he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they
follow him because they recognize his voice. 5 They won’t follow a
stranger; they will run from him because they don’t recognize his
voice.”
6
Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand
what he meant, 7 so he explained it to them. “I assure you, I am the
gate for the sheep,” he said. 8 “All others who came before me
were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them.
9
Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved.
Wherever they go, they will find green pastures. 10 The thief’s
purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life
in all its fullness.
 11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his
life for the sheep. 12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf
coming. He will leave the sheep because they aren’t his and he
isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the
flock. 13 The hired hand runs away because he is merely hired and
has no real concern for the sheep.
14
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they
know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father.
And I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too,
that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also, and they will
listen to my voice; and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
