^{14 Ref} I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;

^{15 Ref} even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

^{16 Ref} 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 Ref} Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

^{18 Ref} 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."
