John 10:9-16 (St. Demetrius)
9 |
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. |
10 |
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. |
11 |
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. |
12 |
But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. |
13 |
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. |
14 |
I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. |
15 |
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. |
