John 10:11-15

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

12The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.

13Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.

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 – and I lay down my life for the sheep.
