John 10:1-9 ▼

1 “Truly, truly, I say to you?, the one not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but going up another way, he is a thief and a robber.

2 But the one entering through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 When he may bring out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

5 But they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6 Jesus spoke to them this allegory, but they did not know what it was that He was saying to them.

7 Therefore Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you?, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

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