13 The hired hand runs away because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and am known by My own.
15 Even as the Father knows Me, so I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
16 I have other sheep who are not of this fold. I must also bring them, and they will hear My voice. There will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it up again.
18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I received this command from My Father.”
19 Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.
