"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice...This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not...Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you...I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture...I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." -John 10:4-11
