Hi, friends. I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. In this month, the Let's Read

the Gospels podcast is sponsored by our friends at crew. We love crew. Thank y'all for jumping

in with them this month and supporting them. It is just the best. So the Gospels are the

first four books of the New Testament and the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These

are the stories of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices,

the meals, the miracles. Each month, we read all four books. So go ahead and subscribe

today. Join us as we read the Gospels together. And you know what we say around here a lot.

You don't have to be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the

Gospels will change you. And so I'm really glad you're here with us today. We've got a

have an extra day this month to make sure you're caught up and then we will jump into June.

12. And this month, I'm reading from the CSB version. John 10. Truly, I tell you, anyone

who doesn't enter the sheep pin by the gate, but climbs in some other way is a thief

and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper

opens it for him and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them

out. When he has brought all his own outside, he goes ahead of them. The sheep follow him

because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run

away from him because they don't know the voice of strangers. Jesus gave them this figure

of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. Jesus said again, truly,
