When he has brought out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
In context
2The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3The gatekeeper opens for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 5A stranger they will never follow; they will run from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6Jesus told them this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
