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.
9. I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10. The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
11. I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
