Context
Jesus as the Good Shepherd
10:1 “I tell you the solemn truth , the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door , but climbs in some other way , is a thief and a robber .
10:2 The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep .
10:3 The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice . He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out .
10:4 When he has brought all his own sheep out , he goes ahead of them , and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice .
10:5 They will never follow a stranger , but will run away from him , because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice .”
10:6 Jesus told them this parable , but they did not understand what he was saying to them .
