John 10:15

Read in context

John 10:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

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

14 I am the good shepherd. 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 that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.
