John 10:1-7

1 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that cometh not in by the door into the fold of sheep, but ascendeth [up] by another way, is a night thief and a day thief.
2 But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To this the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he hath done out his own sheep [And when he hath sent out his own sheep], he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.
5 But they follow not an alien, but flee from him; for they have not known the voice of aliens.
6 Jesus said to them this proverb; but they knew not what he spake to them.
7 Therefore Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
