John 10:11-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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)
