down to you from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of

Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20He was chosen before

the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for

your sake. 21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from

the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

am the gate for the sheep. 8All who ever came

before me were thieves and robbers, but the

sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the gate;

whoever enters through me will be saved. He will

come in and go out, and find pasture. 10The thief

comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have

come that they may have life, and have it to the

full.

stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

30When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It

is finished." With that, he bowed his head and

gave up his spirit.
