John 10:15

Jesus As The Good Shepherd

¹⁴ "I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me, ¹⁵ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.
