John 10:1

Context
Jesus as the Good Shepherd

10:1 “I tell you the solemn truth, 1  the one who does not enter the sheepfold 2  by the door, 3  but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

1 tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

2 sn There was more than one type of sheepfold in use in Palestine in Jesus’ day.
