John 10:10-20

10 The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

11 I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

12 He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

13 Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.

14 I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

15 Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

16 And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

17 For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

18 No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

19 There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

20 And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?
