11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father- and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I 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. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. 18 No 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.
