^11 (A)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd ^(B)lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² He who is ^(C)a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and ^(D)leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and ^(E)scatters them. ¹³ He flees because ^(F)he is a hired hand and ^(G)cares nothing for the sheep. ^14 (H)I am the good shepherd. ^(I)I know my own and ^(J)my own know me, ^15 (K)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and ^(L)I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And ^(M)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. ^(N)I must bring them also, and ^(O)they will listen to my voice. So there will be ^(P)one flock, ^(Q)one shepherd. ^17 (R)For this reason the Father loves me, ^(S)because ^(T)I lay down my life that I may take it up again. ^18 (U)No one takes it from me, but ^(V)I lay it down ^(W)of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and ^(X)I have authority to take it up again. ^(Y)This charge I have received from my Father.”
