    1 Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

    3 The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

    5 They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.
