John 10:1–9
1“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.↗
2But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.↗
3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.↗
4Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.↗
5They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”↗
6Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.↗
7Jesus therefore said to them again,“Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.↗
8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.↗
9I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.↗
