John 10 v 1-10


The Good Shepherd and His Sheep


1 ‘Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by
the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.


2 The one
who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.


3 The gatekeeper opens
the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by
name and leads them out.


4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on
ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.


5 But
they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because
they do not recognise a stranger’s voice.’


6 Jesus used this figure of speech,
but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.


7 Therefore Jesus said again, ‘Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the
sheep.


8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep
have not listened to them.


9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be
saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.


10 The thief comes
only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and
have it to the full.
