John 10:11-15 ▼

11 |I'm the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 The hired worker, who isn't the shepherd and doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, deserts the sheep, and runs away. So the wolf snatches them and scatters them,

13 because he's a hired worker, and the sheep don't matter to him.

14 I'm the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,

15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.
