John10:6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them.

The flesh is of no value at all in understanding the words of Spirit, they cannot hear the truth spoke by Spirit, its not possible, so what happens? A parable spoken by Spirit through the Christ become a legal document codified into verses from other place within the written word of God as laws, by the fleshly mind, and if laws are broken they convict a person of sin. Moreover, and worst, they label the person ans apostate from an man made religion whom created the laws in the first place.
No! The fleshly minded legalistic Jewish community could not understand Christ words here about sheep, gate, and a Shepard, it was crazy talk, not found in their understanding of the laws, so what value was it? It was foolishness, worthless garbage proving Christ had a demon! But how wrong were their fleshly judgments about the person speaking Spirit and truth, 180-eighty degrees wrong.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

They destroyed the Son of God, how strong are the assertion of our fallen flesh that it could murder believing with a zeal it was doing a righteousness for God? Yes, it is that strong when coupled with God's righteous laws. Look at the history of Jews, as well as Christian's from Christ forward, how many have destroyed the lives of others humans in the name of good, in the name of God's righteousness?

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Such is a fact that each one of us must stop, think, and give pause too before we assume our teachings, our ways, are correct enough to take the life of another human, or the spiritual life of another human on earth over our beliefs. The Jews Christ spoke too here, could not understand Christ words, they could not understand what only the Spirit can teach, it was not a put down, but a law, a fact one type of species(flesh into spirit) cannot turn itself into another kind, by words from God's word the bible, it requires God's help, not self-made mans help in doing so. This is a fact we must accept salvation does not come from our own efforts, but the efforts of God given us as a gift.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!

1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.
