12But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and aleaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
13The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd; and aI know My sheep, and bam known by My own.
15aAs the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; band I lay down My life for the sheep.
16And 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.
18No 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.”
