3 For this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.
