1. "Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
2. But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4. And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5. But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
6. Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7. Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: "Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
