I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock^(F) and one shepherd.^(G) ¹⁷The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life^(H)—only to take it up again. ¹⁸No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.^(I) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.

John 10:14-18

King James Version

¹⁴I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

¹⁵As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

¹⁶And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

¹⁷Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

¹⁸No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
