|
3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
|
4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
|
5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
|

|
28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

|
38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
