But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,
13
And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
14
I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.
15
As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16
And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
17
Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18
No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19
A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.
20
And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you him?
21
Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22
And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter.
