13 because he is a hired hand and he is not concerned about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd.
17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
