John 10:5

Read in context

John 10:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

6 Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

7 So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
