John 10:14-18

New King James Version

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd; and ^(A)I know My sheep, and ^(B)am known by My own. ^15 (C)As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; ^(D)and I lay down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And ^(E)other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; ^(F)and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

¹⁷ “Therefore My Father ^(G)loves Me, ^(H)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 ^(I)have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. ^(J)This command I have received from My Father.”
