John 10:1-2

Expanded Bible

The Shepherd and His Sheep

10 Jesus said, “·I tell you the truth [^LTruly, truly I say to you], the person who does not enter the ·sheepfold [sheep pen] by the ·door [gate], but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. [^CThe sheep represent the people of God; the thief/robber stands for those who would lead them astray; Ps. 23; Ezek. 34.] ² The one who enters by the ·door [gate] is the shepherd of the sheep.
