¹⁰ The thief only comes to steal, and kill, and destroy. I came so that they could have life—yes, and have it full to overflowing.”

The shepherd and the sheep

¹¹ “I am the good shepherd,” Jesus continued. “The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² But supposing there’s a hired servant, who isn’t himself the shepherd, and who doesn’t himself own the sheep. He will see the wolf coming, and leave the sheep, and run away. Then the wolf will snatch the sheep and scatter them.
