John 10:1-8

NLT

NIV

1 “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!
1 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.
4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”
5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant,
6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7 so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8 All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them.
8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
