John 10:14-18
14 “I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me,
15 as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father.(A) I lay down My life(B) for the sheep.
16 But I have other sheep(C) that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.(D)
17 This is why the Father loves Me,(E) because I am laying down My life(F) so I may take it up again.
18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”(G)
