The Good Shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out...
...when we has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice...
...but they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize his voice.
I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
I am the Good Shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me ~ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father ~ and I lay down my life for the sheep.
