11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12
He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, 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 hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.
14
I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
15
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16
And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
