Jesus As The Good Shepherd

14 I am that good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine. 15 As my father knoweth me: even so know I my father. And I give my life for the sheep, 16 and other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring, that they may hear my voice. And that there may be one flock, and one shepherd.
