14. I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15. even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
17. Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19. Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20. Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21. Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22. It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
