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.

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.
