John 10.1-9
Read in contextThe Lord said to the Jews that came to Him:
1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
”
Acts 5.1-11
Read in contextIn those days,
1But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy [to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet.
3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
4Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].
7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband.
11And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Heb 7.26-8.2
Read in contextBrethren,
7:26For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
7:27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
7:28For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
8:1Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
8:2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
John 5.30-6.2
Read in contextThe Lord said to the Jews that came to Him:
5:30I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
5:31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
5:32There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
5:33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
5:34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
5:35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
5:36But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
5:37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
5:38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
5:39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
5:40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
5:41I receive not honour from men.
5:42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
5:43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
5:44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
5:45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
5:46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
5:47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
6:1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea of] Tiberias.
6:2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
John 10.9-16
Read in contextThe Lord said to the Jews that came to Him:
9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine.
15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
