John 10:11-15 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. An old Scottish Methodist, who had clung vehemently to one of two small sects on opposite sides of the street, said, when dying: "The street I am now travelling in has nae sides, and if power were now given me I would preach purity of life mair and purity of doctrine less. Since I was laid by here I have had whisperings of the still small voice telling me that the wranglings of faith will ne'er be heard in the kingdom I am nearing; and, as love cements all differences, I'll perhaps find the place roomier than I thought in times past." (Dean Stanley.) Parallel Verses KJV: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.WEB: I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. |
