bwe - John:10:1-7

bwe@John:10:1 @ Then Jesus went on to say, I tell you the truth. A person must get to the sheep through the door. Anyone who climbs over the wall to get in is a bad man and steals things. He has come to steal the sheep.

bwe@John:10:2 @ But the man who comes in through the door, he is the one who takes care of the sheep.

bwe@John:10:3 @ The guard will open the door for him. The sheep will listen to him. He calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.

bwe@John:10:4 @ When all his own sheep are out of the house, he goes ahead of them. The sheep come behind him because they know his voice.

bwe@John:10:5 @ They will not go after a stranger. They will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.

bwe@John:10:6 @ Jesus told this story to the Pharisees, but they did not understand what he was trying to tell them.

bwe@John:10:7 @ So Jesus told them again. He said, I tell you the truth. I am the door of the sheep house.
