I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep. |
| 10:12 |
But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep. |
| 10:13 |
And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him. |
| 10:14 |
I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me, |
| 10:15 |
just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep. |
| 10:16 |
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd. |
| 10:17 |
For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again. |
| 10:18 |
No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”
