John 10:15-18

New King James Version

^15 (A)As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; ^(B)and I lay down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And ^(C)other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; ^(D)and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

¹⁷ “Therefore My Father ^(E)loves Me, ^(F)because I lay down My life that I may take it again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I ^(G)have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. ^(H)This command I have received from My Father.”
