A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

My sheep respond to my voice, and I know who they are. They follow me

and I give them eternal life. They will never be lost, and no one will tear them away from me.

I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food.

“I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep as the Father knows me. My sheep know me as I know the Father.

My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than everyone else, and no one can tear them away from my Father. The Father and I are one.”

So I give my life for my sheep.

No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the authority to take my life back again. This is what my Father ordered me to do.”

Jesus emphasized, “I can guarantee this truth: I am the gate for the sheep.

A hired hand isn’t a shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep. When he sees a wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and quickly runs away. So the wolf drags the sheep away and scatters the flock.

“I can guarantee this truth: The person who doesn’t enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in somewhere else is a thief or a robber.
