Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our distress, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any distress by the comfort wherewith we are ourselves comforted by God;

Truly, truly do I say to you, He that entereth not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber; but he that entereth through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and his own sheep he calleth by name, and leadeth them out. read more.
When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers. This parable Jesus spoke to them; but they did not understand what the things were which he spoke to them. Jesus therefore said, Truly, truly do I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All those who came are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if any one enter through me, he will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have abundance. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. He that is a hireling and not a shepherd, nor the owner of the sheep, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep; because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and they know me, even as the Father knoweth 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; them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. On this account the Father loveth me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again; this charge I received from my Father.

For to this ye were called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps; who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously; read more.
who himself bore our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were going astray like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
