John 10:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶Jesus used this parable to instruct them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. ⁷Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again,

“Amen, amen, I say to you,
I am the gate of the sheepfold.
⁸All who came before me
were thieves and bandits,
but the sheep did not listen to them.
