5 They will never follow a stranger; instead they will run away from him, because they don’t recognize the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7 So Jesus said again, “I assure you: I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.
10 A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
