John 10:5

Verse 5 of 42. The 10th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

1“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

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

3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

5They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”

6Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

7Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.

8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

9I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
