1. “Amen, amen I tell you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, 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. The shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4. “When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them; and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
