All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must lead, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

I am the Good Shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.

And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who work out lawlessness!

But he answered and said, Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.

And when He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.

Then He said to them all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
