John 10:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 [a]When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him,(A) because they recognize his voice. 5 But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”
