    1Jesus as the Good Shepherd“I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

    2The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

    3The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

    4When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

    5They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.”

    6Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

    7So Jesus said again,“I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.

    8All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
