11 “I am the good shepherd.(A) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(B) 12 The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep, leaves them[a] and runs away when he sees a wolf(C) coming. The wolf then snatches and scatters them. 13 This happens because he is a hired man and doesn’t care about the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me, 15 as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father.(D) I lay down My life(E) for the sheep. 16 But I have other sheep(F) that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.(G)
