Yahweh Will Shepherd His Flock

11 For thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I Myself will (A)seek My sheep and care for them. 12 (B)As a shepherd [a]cares for his herd in the day when he is among his [b]sheep which are spread out, so I will [c](C)care for My [d]sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a (D)cloudy and gloomy day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will (E)shepherd them on the mountains of Israel, by the (F)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will shepherd them in a (G)good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and be shepherded in [e](H)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will (I)shepherd My flock, and I will make them lie down,” declares Lord Yahweh. 16 “I will search for the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the (J)fat and the strong I will destroy. I will (K)shepherd them with judgment.

I Am the Good Shepherd

10 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is (A)a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is (B)a shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear (C)his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and (D)leads them out. When he brings all his own out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know (E)his voice. A stranger they will never follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know (F)the voice of strangers.” This (G)figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am (H)the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are (I)thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. (J)I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they (K)may have life, and [a]have it abundantly.

11 (L)I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd (M)lays down His life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand, and not a (N)shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees—and the wolf snatches and scatters them— 13 because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. 14 (O)I am the good shepherd, and (P)I know My own and My own know Me, 15 even as (Q)the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and (R)I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And I have (S)other sheep, which are not from this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become (T)one flock with (U)one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I (V)lay down My life so that I may take it again. 18 (W)No one [b]takes it away from Me, but from Myself, I (X)lay it down. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. (Y)This commandment I received from My Father.”
