1. “I can guarantee this truth: The person who doesn’t enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in somewhere else is a thief or a robber.
2. But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd.
3. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep respond to his voice. He calls his sheep by name and leads them out of the pen.
4. After he has brought out all his sheep, he walks ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
