    9I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

    10The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

    11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

    12He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.

    13The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn’t care for the sheep.

    14I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

    15even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

    16I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

    3He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

    4As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

    5Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

    6When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

    7Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

    8Others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

    9He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

  • Gospel · St Jacob

    Mark 10:29–31, 42–45
