^14 (A)I am the good shepherd. ^(B)I know my own and ^(C)my own know me, ^15 (D)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and ^(E)I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And ^(F)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. ^(G)I must bring them also, and ^(H)they will listen to my voice. So there will be ^(I)one flock, ^(J)one shepherd. ^17 (K)For this reason the Father loves me, ^(L)because ^(M)I lay down my life that I may take it up again. ^18 (N)No one takes it from me, but ^(O)I lay it down ^(P)of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and ^(Q)I have authority to take it up again. ^(R)This charge I have received from my Father.”

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

^32 (A)And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and ^(B)Jesus was walking ahead of them. And ^(C)they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, ³³ saying, “See, ^(D)we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will ^(E)condemn him to death and ^(F)deliver him over to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will ^(G)mock him and ^(H)spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And ^(I)after three days he will rise.”

The Request of James and John

^35 (J)And James and John, ^(K)the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us ^(L)whatever we ask of you.” ³⁶ And he said to them, ^(M)“What do you want me to do for you?” ³⁷ And they said to him, “Grant us ^(N)to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, ^(O)in your glory.” ³⁸ Jesus said to them, ^(P)“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able ^(Q)to drink the cup that I drink, or ^(R)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” ³⁹ And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, ^(S)“The cup that I drink ^(T)you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, ^(U)you will be baptized, ⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, ^(V)but it is for those for whom it has been ^(W)prepared.” ⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. ^42 (X)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles ^(Y)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³ But ^(Z)it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,^{[a] 44} and whoever would be first among you must be ^(AA)slave^[b] of all. ⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ^(AB)to serve, and ^(AC)to give his life as a ransom for ^(AD)many.”
