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 lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ I have other sheep besides, which do not belong to this fold; I must lead them also, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under 'one Shepherd.'
