The good shepherd ablays down his life for the sheep. 12He who is aca hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and adleaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and aescatters them. 13He flees because afhe is a hired hand and agcares nothing for the sheep. 14 ahI am the good shepherd. aiI know my own and ajmy own know me, 15 akjust as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and alI lay down my life for the sheep. 16And amI have other sheep that are not of this fold. anI must bring them also, and aothey will listen to my voice. So there will be apone flock, aqone shepherd. 17 arFor this reason the Father loves me, asbecause atI lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 auNo one takes it from me, but avI lay it down awof my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and axI have authority to take it up again. ayThis charge I have received from my Father.”
