John:10:11-18
web@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd. {Isaiah strkjv@40:11; Ezekiel strkjv@34:11-12,15,22} The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
web@John:10:12 @ He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.
web@John:10:13 @ The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.
web@John:10:14 @ I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;
web@John:10:15 @ even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
web@John:10:16 @ I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. {Isaiah strkjv@56:8} I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
web@John:10:17 @ Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, {Isaiah strkjv@53:7-8} that I may take it again.
web@John:10:18 @ No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
