10:1

"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.

10:2

The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep.

10:3

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

10:4

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

10:5

But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."

10:6

Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
