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

8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
