John 10:9-13

I Am the Good Shepherd

⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters by me, _c he will be saved and will go in and out and _d find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and _e kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. ¹¹ _f I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd _g lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² He who is _h a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and _i leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and _j scatters them. ¹³ He flees because _k he is a hired hand and _l cares nothing for the sheep.
