    8. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
    9. 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. 10 The thief cometh not, but for 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. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
    12. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

    14. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
    15. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
