5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. ![]() When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Jesus says that sheep know the shepherd’s voice, as we should know His voice. Sheep tend to follow wherever their guard leads them, trusting the shepherd and letting him lead. ![]() Students might need a bit of explanation regarding the roles of shepherds: they were to take care of sheep and make sure wild animals or thieves did not snatch them away. He explains that robbers or thieves might try to steal sheep from a flock. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. Be sure to point out that Jesus is speaking. Older students can take turns reading themselves, if willing. This passage is a good one to read out loud for children, pausing to discuss and describe.
