New King James Version

John 10:5-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6. Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

7. Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

10. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
