John 10:6-9

6 Jesus used this illustration as he talked to the people, but they didn't understand what he meant.

7 Jesus emphasized, "I can guarantee this truth: I am the gate for the sheep.

8 All who came before I did were thieves or robbers. However, the sheep didn't respond to them.

9 I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food.
