John 10:1–10
1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is aa thief and a robber.
2 “But he who enters by the door is aa shepherd of the sheep.
3 “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear ahis voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and bleads them out.
4 “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know ahis voice.
5 “A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know athe voice of strangers.”
6 This afigure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.
7 So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am athe door of the sheep.
8 “All who came before Me are athieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 “aI am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they amay have life, and 1have it abundantly.
