John 10:11-15

11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12The hired hand, since he is not the shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep, leaves them and runs away when he sees a wolf coming. The wolf then snatches and scatters them.

13This happens because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care about the sheep.

14“I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me,

15just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
