John 10:10-18

10 "The thief comes only * * to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they ¹may have life, and have it abundantly.

11 "²I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd ³lays down His life for the sheep.

12 "He who is a hired hand, and not a ⁴shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

13 "He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

14 "⁵I am the good shepherd, and ⁶I know My own and My own know Me,

15 even as ⁷the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and ⁸I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 "I have ⁹other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become ¹⁰one flock with ¹¹one shepherd.

17 "For this reason the Father loves Me, because I ¹²lay down My life so that I may take it again.

18 "¹³No one has taken it away from Me, but I ¹⁴lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. ¹⁵This commandment I received from My Father."
