John 10:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 Although Jesus used this figure of speech,[a] they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.
7 [b]So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 [c]All who came [before me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

- 10:6 Figure of speech: John uses a different word for illustrative speech than the “parable” of the synoptics, but the idea is similar.
- 10:7–10 In Jn 10:7–8, the figure is of a gate for the shepherd to come to the sheep; in Jn 10:9–10, the figure is of a gate for the sheep to come in and go out.
- 10:8 [Before me]: these words are omitted in many good early manuscripts and versions.
