John 10:2-6

But the one who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep listen to his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

When he puts all his own sheep outside, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

However, a stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

Jesus told them this figure of speech, but they did not understand what the things which He was saying to them meant.
