4. When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5. They will not follow someone else; instead, they will run away from such a person, because they do not know his voice.”
6. Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he meant.
7. So Jesus said again, “I am telling you the truth: I am the gate for the sheep.
8. All others who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9. I am the gate. Whoever comes in by me will be saved; they will come in and go out and find pasture.
