10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees,
anyone who does not enter the sheep
pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way,
is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate
is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep
listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep
by name and leads them out.
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.
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.”
6 Jesus used this figure of speech,
but the Pharisees did not
understand what he
was telling
them.
