John 10:6 in Context — John 10

4 Y como ha sacado fuera todas las propias, va delante de ellas; y las ovejas le siguen, porque conocen su voz.

5 Mas al extraño no seguirán, antes huirán de él: porque no conocen la voz de los extraños.

6 Esta parábola les dijo Jesús; mas ellos no entendieron qué era lo que les decía.

7 Volvióles, pues, Jesús á decir: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Yo soy la puerta de las ovejas.

8 Todos los que antes de mí vinieron, ladrones son y robadores; mas no los oyeron las ovejas.
