  1. John 10:11-18  11"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

  2. John 10:11-18 12The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

  3. John 10:11-18 13The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.  14"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me –

  4. John 10:11-18 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

  5. John 10:11-18 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life – only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
