VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but getteth in some other way, that person is a thief and a robber. He that entereth by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth. read more.
And when he bringeth out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice. 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.

And there were shepherds in that country abiding in the open air, and keeping guard over their flock by night. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were exceedingly affrighted. And the angel said unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people. read more.
Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign for you; Ye shall find the babe in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, Glory in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence. And it came to pass, as the angels went from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said also to each other, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath happened, which the Lord hath made known to us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe, lying in the manger: and when they saw it, they made a public report of the declaration delivered to them respecting this child. And all who heard it, marvelled at the things told them by the shepherds. But Mary carefully preserved all these declarations, laying them together in her heart, in order to apprehend their meaning. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things which they had heard and seen, exactly as had been told them.
