John 10:14-18

14 ^aI am the good shepherd. ^bI know my own and ^cmy own know me, 15 ^djust as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and ^eI lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And ^fI have other sheep that are not of this fold. ^gI must bring them also, and ^hthey will listen to my voice. So there will be ⁱone flock, ^jone shepherd. 17 ^kFor this reason the Father loves me, ^lbecause ^mI lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 ⁿNo one takes it from me, but ^oI lay it down ^pof my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and ^qI have authority to take it up again. ^rThis charge I have received from my Father.”
