John 10:14-18

New American Standard Bible

^14 (A)I am the good shepherd, and ^(B)I know My own, and My own know Me, ¹⁵ just as ^(C)the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and ^(D)I lay down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And I have ^(E)other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become ^(F)one flock, with ^(G)one shepherd. ¹⁷ For this reason the Father loves Me, because I ^(H)lay down My life so that I may take it back. ^18 (I)No one has taken it away from Me, but I ^(J)lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. ^(K)This commandment I received from My Father.”
