6. Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7. So Jesus said again, “I assure you: I am the door of the sheep.
8. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.
10. A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
