"I am the door of the sheep"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (10, 1-10)
At that time Jesus said: "Amen, amen, I say to you: he who enters the sheep pen without going through the door, but who climbs by another place, he is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the door is the shepherd, the shepherd of the sheep. The porter opens the door for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. His own sheep he calls each by name, and he brings them out. When he has pushed out all of his, he walks at their head, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but they will run away from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. "
Jesus used this image to address the Pharisees, but they did not understand what he was talking about to them. This is why Jesus spoke again: “Amen, amen, I say to you: I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved; he will be able to enter; he can go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, kill, destroy. I have come so that the sheep may have life, life in abundance. "
The Gospel of the Lord.
