مَنْ لا يَدْخُلُ حَظيرَةَ الخِرَافِ مِنْ بَابِهَا، بَلْ يَتَسَلَّقُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَر، فَهُوَ لِصٌّ وسَارِق/Who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit

إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا10/من01حتى06/مَنْ لا يَدْخُلُ حَظيرَةَ الخِرَافِ مِنْ بَابِهَا، بَلْ يَتَسَلَّقُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَر، فَهُوَ لِصٌّ وسَارِق
“قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوع: «أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: مَنْ لا يَدْخُلُ حَظيرَةَ الخِرَافِ مِنْ بَابِهَا، بَلْ يَتَسَلَّقُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَر، فَهُوَ لِصٌّ وسَارِق. أَمَّا مَنْ يَدْخُلُ مِنَ البَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي الخِرَاف. لَهُ يَفْتَحُ البَوَّاب، وَالخِرَافُ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَيَدْعُو خِرَافَهُ بِأَسْمَائِهَا ويُخْرِجُهَا. وعِنْدَمَا يُخْرِجُ كُلَّ خِرَافِهِ، يَسيرُ قُدَّامَهَا، والخِرَافُ تَتْبَعُهُ، لأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ. أَمَّا الغَرِيبُ فَلَنْ تَتْبَعَهُ بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّهَا لا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ الغُرَبَاء». قَالَ لَهُم يَسُوعُ هذَا المَثَل، فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُم بِهِ.”

الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين08/من01حتى06/عَظِيمَ أَحْبَارِنَا قَد حَصَلَ على خِدْمَةٍ أَسْمَى، بِمِقْدَارِ مَا هُو وَسِيطٌ لِعَهْدٍ أَفْضَل، مُؤَسَّسٍ على وُعُودٍ أَفْضَل”.
“يا إِخوَتِي، ذُرْوَةُ الكَلامِ في هذَا المَوْضُوع، هُوَ أَنَّ لَنا عَظِيمَ أَحْبَارٍ مِثْلَ هذَا، قَد جَلَسَ عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِ الجَلالَةِ في السَّمَاوَات. وصارَ خَادِمًا للأَقْدَاسِ والمَسْكِنِ الحَقِيقِيّ، الَّذي نَصَبَهُ الرَّبُّ لا الإِنْسَان. فإِنَّ كُلَّ عَظِيمِ أَحْبَارٍ يُقَامُ لِيُقَرِّبَ تَقَادِمَ وذَبَائِح. لِذلِكَ فَمِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِعَظِيمِ أَحْبَارِنَا، هُوَ أَيْضًا، شَيءٌ يُقَرِّبُهُ. فَلَو كَانَ عَظِيمُ أَحْبَارِنَا على هذِهِ الأَرْض، لَمَا كَانَ حَتَّى كاهِنًا، لأَنَّ هُنَاكَ كَهَنَةً يُقَرِّبُونَ التَّقَادِمَ وَفْقًا لِلشَّرِيعَة. وهؤُلاءِ إِنَّمَا يَخْدُمُونَ صُورَةً وظِلاًّ لِمَا في السَّمَاوَات، كَمَا أُوحِيَ إِلى مُوسَى، حينَ هَمَّ أَنْ يُنْشِئَ المَسْكِن، فقِيلَ لَهُ: « أُنْظُر، وٱصْنَعْ كُلَّ شَيءٍ على الْمِثَالِ الَّذي أَنَا أُرِيكَ إِيَّاهُ في الجَبَل». أَمَّا الآن، فإِنَّ عَظِيمَ أَحْبَارِنَا قَد حَصَلَ على خِدْمَةٍ أَسْمَى، بِمِقْدَارِ مَا هُو وَسِيطٌ لِعَهْدٍ أَفْضَل، مُؤَسَّسٍ على وُعُودٍ أَفْضَل”.

Bible Quotation For Today/Who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit.
John 10/01-06: “‘Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.’Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.”

Bible Quotation For Today/But Jesus has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises
Letter to the Hebrews 08/01-06.” The main point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent that the Lord, and not any mortal, has set up. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. They offer worship in a sanctuary that is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one; for Moses, when he was about to erect the tent, was warned, ‘See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.’ But Jesus has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises.”
