[Jesus said:] “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who dos not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know My own and My own know Me, Just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father, and I lay down My life for the sheep.”
John 10:11-15 (English Standard Version – ESV)
