6. Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he meant.
7. So Jesus said again, “I am telling you the truth: I am the gate for the sheep.
8. All others who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9. I am the gate. Whoever comes in by me will be saved; they will come in and go out and find pasture.

11. “I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.
12. When the hired man, who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away; so the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
