1
"I can guarantee this truth: The person who doesn't enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in somewhere else is a thief or a robber.
2
But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd.
3
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep respond to his voice. He calls his sheep by name and leads them out of the pen.
4
After he has brought out all his sheep, he walks ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
5
They won't follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from a stranger because they don't recognize his voice."
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.
10
A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need.
