John 10:1-5 ▼

1 I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

2 The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

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

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

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