          14I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
          15just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
          16I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

¹⁷The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

¹⁸No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
