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.
10. The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life — life in all its fullness.
11. “I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.
