13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and aI know My sheep, and bam known by My own.  
15 aAs the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; band I lay down My life for the sheep.  
16 And aother sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; band there will be one flock and one shepherd.  
17 “Therefore My Father aloves Me, bbecause I lay down My life that I may take it again.  
18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I ahave power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. bThis command I have received from My Father.”
