John 10:1-4 ▼

1 |Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the person who doesn't enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a bandit.

2 The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 It's to him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and it's his voice the sheep hear. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

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