John 10:3-9

3The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

5They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.”

6Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7So Jesus said to them again, “I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.

8All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

9I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and find pasture.
