John 10:1-10
“Truly, truly, I say
to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by
another way, that man is a thief and a robber; but he who enters by the door is
the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his
voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has
brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for
they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from
him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." This figure Jesus used
with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So Jesus
again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the
sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not
heed them. I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will
go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

An isa ka marajaw na
pastol maghatag nan kalinaw sanan seguridad sa ija mga binantajan na mga

Shepherd of Israel,” “We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture” sanan

Amo ‘sab an Messiah,
Sija ‘sab an Pastol nan mga tawo ni God – “He will feed his flock like a
shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arms.”
Si Jesus an Good Shepherd,
iula Nija an Ija kinabuhi para hanapon sanan isalbar an mga nawaya na mga
karnero.
Waya’y mga karnero

Jesus, you always lead me in the way of peace and safety. May I never doubt
your care nor stray from your ways. Keep me safe in the shelter of your
presence."
