John 10:11–21

¹¹I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

¹²But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,

¹³And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.

¹⁴I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.

¹⁵As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.

¹⁶And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

¹⁷Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

¹⁸No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

¹⁹A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.

²⁰And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you him?

²¹Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
