⁷ So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. ⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters by me, ^(B)he will be saved and will go in and out and ^(C)find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and ^(D)kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. ^11 (E)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd ^(F)lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² He who is ^(G)a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and ^(H)leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and ^(I)scatters them. ¹³ He flees because ^(J)he is a hired hand and ^(K)cares nothing for the sheep. ^14 (L)I am the good shepherd. ^(M)I know my own and ^(N)my own know me, ^15 (O)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and ^(P)I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And ^(Q)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. ^(R)I must bring them also, and ^(S)they will listen to my voice. So there will be ^(T)one flock, ^(U)one shepherd.

²⁶ but ^(A)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. ^27 (B)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ^28 (C)I give them eternal life, and ^(D)they will never perish, and ^(E)no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, ^(F)who has given them to me,^{[a] (G)}is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of ^(H)the Father's hand. ^30 (I)I and the Father are one.”

^31 (J)The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.
