John 10:11-16

11 1I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd 2lays down his life for the sheep.
12 He who is 3a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and 4leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and 5scatters them.
13 He flees because 6he is a hired hand and 7cares nothing for the sheep.
14 8I am the good shepherd. 9I know my own and 10my own know me,
15 11just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and 12I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And 13I have other sheep that are not of this fold. 14I must bring them also, and 15they will listen to my voice. So there will be 16one flock, 17one shepherd.
