3. The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4. When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
5. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.”
6. Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7. So Jesus said to them again, “I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.
8. All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
