I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.

"I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.

"I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me,

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.

For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."

"What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do not know, but afterwards you shall know."

You call me `The Rabbi' and `The Master,' and rightly so, for such I am.

I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says, `He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.

Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, `Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.
