John 10:11-25
-
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
-
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
-
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
-
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
-
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
-
16 And other sheep I have, which 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.
-
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
-
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
-
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
-
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
-
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
-
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
-
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
-
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
