This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them. Jesus, therefore, said, again - Verily, verily, I say unto you: - I, am the door of the sheep: All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them. I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find. The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.

I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, - Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep. And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
