And all the angels stood in a circle about the throne, and the presbyters and the four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, read more.
saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor sandals: and stay to salute no man on the road. And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

And in the same family abide, eating and drinking such as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not about from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you: and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they knew nothing of the things which he spake to them. Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not to them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep. Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my own [sheep], and am known of my own. As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd. Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father. There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings. Then many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken to him? Others said, These are not the discourses of a demoniac. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

And a stranger will they not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they knew nothing of the things which he spake to them. Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not to them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep. Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my own [sheep], and am known of my own. As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.
