John 10:1-10 (NKJV)
1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but
climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear
his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he
brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know
his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do
not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not
understand the things which He spoke to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the
sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not
hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and
out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.
