2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.
4 When he has brought out his own sheep –all of them– he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
4 And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.
14 »I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me,
15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.
16 I have also other sheep–which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.
25 For you were straying like lost sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Protector of your souls.
11 »I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.«
