  • 3. To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.
  • 4. And when he putteth foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.

  • 8. All that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.
  • 9. I am the doore by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall goe in and out, and find pasture.
  • 10. The theefe commeth not, but for to steale and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and that they might haue it more abundantly.
  • 11. I am the good shepheard: the good shepheard giueth his life for the sheepe.
  • 12. But hee that is an hireling and not the shepheard, whose owne the sheepe are not, seeth the woolfe coming, and leaueth the sheep, and fleeth: and the woolfe catcheth them, and scattereth the sheepe.

  • 16. And other sheepe I haue, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall heare my voyce; and there shall be one fold, and one shepheard.
  • 17. Therefore doth my father loue me, because I lay downe my life that I might take it againe.

  • 25. Iesus answered them, I told you, and ye beleeued not: the workes that I doe in my Fathers name, they beare witnesse of me.
  • 26. But ye beleeue not, because ye are not of my sheepe, as I said vnto you.
  • 27. My sheepe heare my voyce, and I know them, and they follow me.
  • 28. And I giue vnto them eternall life, and they shall neuer perish, neither shall any man plucke them out of my hand.

  • 32. Iesus answered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my Father; for which of those workes doe ye stone me?

  • 37. If I doe not the workes of my Father, beleeue me not.
