Gospel text (John 10,1-10): Jesus said: «Truly, I say
to you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some
other way, is a thief and a robber. But the shepherd of the sheep enters by the
gate. The keeper opens the gate to him and the sheep hear his voice; he calls
each of his sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his
own, he goes before them and the sheep follow him for they know his voice. A
stranger they will not follow, rather they will run away from him because they
don't recognize a stranger's voice». Jesus used this comparison, but they did
not understand what he was saying to them.
So Jesus said, «Truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep. All who came were thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not hear them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved; he will go in and out freely and find food. The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I have come that they may have life, life in all its fullness».
