John 10:15-17

Good News Translation

^14-15 (A)I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them. ¹⁶ There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become^[a] one flock with one shepherd.

¹⁷ “The Father loves me because I am willing to give up my life, in order that I may receive it back again.
