Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:1 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:2 - but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:3 - To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:4 - When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:5 - A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:11 - I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:12 - He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:27 - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
