John 10:11-22
11IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 goodG2570 shepherdG4166. TheG3588 goodG2570 shepherdG4166 lays downG5087 HisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 theG3588 sheepG4263. 12TheG3588 hired handG3411 isG1510 notG3756 the shepherdG4166, and theG3588 sheepG4263 areG1510 notG3756 hisG3739 ownG2398. When he seesG2334 theG3588 wolfG3074 comingG2064, heG2532 abandonsG863 theG3588 sheepG4263 andG2532 runs awayG5343. ThenG2532 theG3588 wolfG3074 pouncesG726 on themG846 andG2532 scattersG4650 the flock. 13The man runs away becauseG3754 he isG1510 a hired servantG3411 andG2532 is unconcernedG3756G3199G846 forG4012 theG3588 sheepG4263.
14IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 goodG2570 shepherdG4166. I knowG1097 MyG1699 sheep andG2532 MyG3588G1699 sheep knowG1097 MeG1473, 15just asG2531 theG3588 FatherG3962 knowsG1097 MeG1473 and IG2504 knowG1097 theG3588 FatherG3962. AndG2532 I lay downG5087 MyG1473 lifeG5590 forG5228 theG3588 sheepG4263. 16I haveG2192 otherG243 sheepG4263 thatG3739 areG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 thisG3778 foldG833. IG1473 mustG1163 bringG71 them in as wellG2548, andG2532 they will listen toG191 MyG1473 voiceG5456. ThenG2532 there will beG1096 oneG1520 flockG4167 and oneG1520 shepherdG4166.
17The reasonG1223G3778 theG3588 FatherG3962 lovesG25 MeG1473 is thatG3754 IG1473 lay downG5087 MyG1473 lifeG5590 in orderG2443 to take it upG2983G846 againG3825. 18No oneG3762 takesG142 itG846 fromG575 MeG1473, butG235 IG1473 lay it downG5087G846 ofG575 My own accordG1683. I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to lay it downG5087G846 andG2532 authorityG1849 to take it upG2983G846 againG3825. ThisG3778 chargeG1785 I have receivedG2983 fromG3844 MyG1473 FatherG3962.”
19AgainG3825 there wasG1096 divisionG4978 amongG1722 theG3588 JewsG2453 because ofG1223 Jesus’ messageG3056. 20ManyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 saidG2036, “He isG2192 demon-possessedG1140 andG2532 insaneG3105. WhyG5101 would you listen toG191 HimG846?”
21But othersG243 repliedG2036, “TheseG3778 areG1510 notG3756 theG3588 wordsG4487 of a man possessed by a demonG1139. CanG3361G1410 a demonG1140 openG455 the eyesG3788 of the blindG5185?”
22At that timeG5119 theG3588 Feast of DedicationG14561 took placeG1096 inG1722 JerusalemG2414. It wasG1510 winterG5494,
