2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the gatekeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spoke Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again,
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
