†...All others...† John 10 1.Anyone refusing to walk through the gate into a sheepfold, who sneaks over the wall, must surely be a thief! 2.For a shepherd comes through the gate. 3.The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4.He walks ahead of them; and they follow him, for they recognize his voice. 5.They won’t follow a stranger but will run from him, for they don’t recognize his voice.” 6.Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, 7.so he explained it to them. “I am the Gate for the sheep,” he said. 8.All others who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. 9.Yes, I am the Gate. Those who come in by way of the Gate will be saved and will go in and out and find green pastures. 10.The thief ’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. 11.“I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12.A hired man will run when he sees a wolf coming and will leave the sheep, for they aren’t his and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf leaps on them and scatters the flock. 13.The hired man runs because he is hired and has no real concern for the sheep. 14.“I am the Good Shepherd and know my own sheep, and they know me, 15.just as my Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16.I have other sheep, too, in another fold. I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice; and there will be one flock with one Shepherd. 17.“The Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again. 18.No one can kill me without my consent—I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right and power to lay it down when I want to and also the right and power to take it again. For the Father has given me this right.” Thank You Father for your most precious living Word†
