John 10:1-9 ▼

1 “Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.

2 But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

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

4 And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5 But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6 Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7 Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.

8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.

9 I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
