João 10

2 But he who enters by the door is a shepherd*"A shepherd"—the fold was communal, so the sheep belonged to a variety of shepherds. That is why each one had to call his own sheep by name (verse 3). The doorkeeper would know all the shepherds. of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And whenever he takes out his own sheep he goes ahead of them,*He ‘leads’, not ‘drives’. Going out they need to be led; only the shepherd knows where they are going. and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
