Passage: John 10:2-5, 11-15 (RSV)


John 10


2but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
 
11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
13He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
15as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
