The Parable of the Good Shepherd
John 10:11-18
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is an
hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth
the sheep, and fleeth:
and the wolf catcheth
them, and scattereth the
sheep.
(The hireling fleeth,
because he is an
hireling, and careth not
for the sheep. I am the
good shepherd, and know
my sheep, and am known
of mine. As the Father
knoweth me, even so know
I the Father: and I lay
down my life for the
sheep. And other sheep I
have, which are not of
this fold: them also I
must bring, and they
shall hear my voice; and
there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my Father
love me, because I lay
down my life, that I
might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay
it down, and I have
power to take it again.
This commandment have I
received of my Father..
