John 10:9-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

9. 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 comes not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

12. But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.

13. The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.

14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15. As the Father knows me, even so know I 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 there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17. Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
