1
"Verily, verily I say unto you, he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3
To him the doorkeeper openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.
4
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers."
6
This parable Jesus spoke unto them, but they understood not what things they were which He spoke unto them.
7
Then said Jesus unto them again, "Verily, verily I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8
All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
