John 10:10-16

10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they 1would have life, and 2have it abundantly.

11“3I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd 4lays down His life for the sheep. 12He who is a hired hand, and not a 5shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock. 13He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep. 14 6I am the good shepherd, and 7I know My own, and My own know Me, 15just as 8the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and 9I lay down My life for the sheep. 16And I have 10other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become 11one flock, with 12one shepherd.
