1
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3
To him 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 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 spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
7
Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to 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.
