John 10:11

Read in context

John 10:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

12 The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.

13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
