John 10:6-10
New Living Translation
6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, 7 so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me[a] were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. 9 Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved.[b] They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. 10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

John 10:6-10
New International Version
6 Jesus used this figure of speech,(A) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(B)
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(C) the gate(D) for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me(E) are thieves and robbers,(F) but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,(G) and have it to the full.(H)
