11 I am ^pthe good shepherd. The good shepherd ^qlays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a ^rshepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and ^sleaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and ^tcares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. ^uI know my own and my own know me, 15 just as ^vthe Father knows me and ^wI know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have ^xother sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and ^ythey will listen to my voice. So there will be ^zone flock, ^aone shepherd. 17 For this reason ^bthe Father loves me, because I lay down my life ^cthat I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This ^dcharge I have received from my Father.”

26 but ⁿyou do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep ^ohear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I ^pgive them eternal life, and they will never perish, and ^qno one will snatch them out of my hand.

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my ^blambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, ^c“Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the ^dthird time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, ^eyou know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
