"Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who does not enter into the sheep yard by the gate, but climbs in another way is a thief and criminal. But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gate keeper opens the gate for him, he calls his own sheep by name, the sheep listen to his voice, and he leads them out. When he brings his sheep out, he walks in the front, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what He was talking about.So Jesus went on to explain, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate to the sheep. Everyone who came before me were thieves and criminals, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. If anyone enters through me, he shall be saved, and he shall enter through the gate, then continue on and find pasture. The thief does not come for any other reason except to steal, kill and destroy. I come so that they can have life, and have it  beyond measure.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sake of sheep. The hired worker is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and flees, so the wolf attacks the sheep, snatching some up, and scattering the rest. [''The hired worker flees''] because he is being paid a wage, and doesn't really care about the sheep.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own sheep, and they know me, in the same way that my Father knows me, and I know my Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

I have other sheep who are not from this sheep yard. I must also lead them, they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheep yard and one shepherd. Here is why the Father loves me; because I give my life so that I can take it back again. No one takes it from me, but rather, I myself give it. I have the authority to give it, and I have the authority to take it back afterward. This is the command I have freely taken from my Father's side.

Due to these words, a huge dispute once again developed among the Jews. Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you even listen to Him?" But others said, "These are not the words of someone with a demon. Can a demon give sight to the blind?"

During the winter, in Jerusalem, at the time of the festival of the Dedication, Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's porch, when He was surrounded by the Jews, who said to Him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, then stop beating around the bush and just tell us openly and boldly."

Jesus answered, "I already told you, and are refusing to believe: the works that I do in my Father's name are testifying about me. But you are refusing to believe because, as I have already said to you, you are not my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, I know them, they follow me, and I give them everlasting life. They shall never, ever be destroyed, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

My Father, who is greater than everyone and everything, has given them to me, and no one has the ability to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

|This is a continuation of the previous guarantee: Once we believe in Jesus, no outside force of any kind, whether human or demonic, can ever, by any means, forcefully snatch us away from God because nothing and on one is stronger than He.
