IzEnzo 11: 1- 8

11:1Manje abaphostoli nabazalwane ababeseJudiya bezwa ukuthi nabezizwe balamukele iZwi likaNkulunkulu.
11:2Khona-ke, lapho uPetru enyukela eJerusalema, labo abangabokusoka baphikisana laye,
11:3ethi, “Ungeneleni kubantu abangasokile, kanti udleni nabo?”
11:4UPetru waqala ukubachazela, ngendlela ehlelekile, ethi:
11:5“Bengisedolobheni laseJopha ngikhuleka, futhi ngabona, ekujatshulisweni komqondo, umbono: isitsha esithile sehla, njengendwangu enkulu yelineni yehliswa ngamachopho ayo omane ivela ezulwini. Futhi yasondela kimi.
11:6Futhi ukuyibuka, Ngacabanga, ngabona izilo zomhlaba ezinezinyawo ezine, nezilwane zasendle, kanye nezilwane ezihuquzelayo, nezinto ezindizayo zasemoyeni.
11:7Ngase ngizwa izwi lithi kimi: ‘Sukuma, UPetru. Bulala udle.’
11:8Kodwa ngathi: ‘Ungalokothi, nkosi! Ngokuba okuyichilo nokungcolileyo akukaze kungene emlonyeni wami.’

UJohane 10: 1- 10

10:1“Amen, amen, ngithi kini, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7Ngakho-ke, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, ngithi kini, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
