John 10:14-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. “I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me,

15. as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. I lay down My life for the sheep.

16. But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

17. This is why the Father loves Me, because I am laying down My life so I may take it up again.

18. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”

19. Again a division took place among the Jews because of these words.
