John 10:8

Jesus As The Good Shepherd

⁷ So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them. ⁹ I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.
