The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
The Bible in Basic English BBE
12 The hired hand, since he isn't a shepherd and the sheep aren't his own, sees the wolf coming, abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf drags them off and scatters them.
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 The hired worker behaves like this because that's all he is, a hired worker; so it doesn't matter to him what happens to the sheep.
13
Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; I know my own, and my own know me --
14
I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,
15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father -- and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.
15
Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.
16 Also I have other sheep which are not from this pen; I need to bring them, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
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.
