Christ is the true shepherd, and the door of the sheep. Some say Christ has a devil and is mad. Some say he does not speak the words of a man that has a devil. Because he tells the truth, the Jews take up stones to cast at him, call his preaching blasphemy, and go about to take him.

10 Truly truly I say to you, he who does not enter into the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. ² He who goes in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep; ³ to him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
