1. Jesus said, “I am telling you the truth: the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2. The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him; the sheep hear his voice as he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4. When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
