10:12 but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolfseizes them and scatters the sheep.
10:13 Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
10:15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
10:16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
10:17 On this account the Fatherloves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
10:19 There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
10:20 but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
10:21 Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
10:22 Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
10:24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
10:26 but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
10:28 and I give them lifeeternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.
10:29 My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
