6. Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant,
7. so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.
8. All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them.
9. Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.
