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.
