John 10:11-15

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, 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.

He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me,

just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
