I tell you most truly, he that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs in at some other place, he is a thief and robber; but he that enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gate-keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out. read more.
When he puts out all his sheep he goes before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers.

After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and having palm branches in their hands; and they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation be to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb. And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four cherubs, and fell down before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, read more.
saying, Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are those clothed with white robes, and whence did they come? And I said to him, My Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out from great affliction, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits on the throne will dwell among them. And they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them nor any heat, for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and lead them to fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

When he puts out all his sheep he goes before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spoke Jesus to them, but they knew not what the words which he spoke to them meant. Then said Jesus to them again, I tell you most truly, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep have not heard them. I am the door; by me if any one enters in he shall be saved, and go in and out, and find pasturage. The thief comes not, except to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. But the hired servant, and one who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf seizes and scatters them; for he is a hired servant and cares not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; and them I must lead, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have a right to lay it down, and I have a right to take it again; this commandment have I received from my Father.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps, who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth, who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously, read more.
who himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we having died to sins, may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like lost sheep, but are now returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
