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.
10 The thief comes only so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
