He 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 not follow a stranger; rather, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers. 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. 7 So Jesus said to them again, 'Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the door for the sheep.' 8 All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, they will be saved; they will come in and go out, and find pasture.
