In context
3 To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.
5 And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers.
6 This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.
7 Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.
8 All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.
9 I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.
