John 10 — Context

4

When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

5

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

6

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

7

So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8

All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

9

I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

10

The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.
