John 10:6 in Context — John 10

4 Lorsqu’il a fait sortir toutes ses propres brebis, il marche devant elles; et les brebis le suivent, parce qu’elles connaissent sa voix.

5 Elles ne suivront point un étranger; mais elles fuiront loin de lui, parce qu’elles ne connaissent pas la voix des étrangers.

6 Jésus leur dit cette parabole, mais ils ne comprirent pas de quoi il leur parlait.

7 Jésus leur dit encore: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, je suis la porte des brebis.

8 Tous ceux qui sont venus avant moi sont des voleurs et des brigands; mais les brebis ne les ont point écoutés.
