John 10:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Even as [truly as] the Father knows Me and I also know the Father—and I am giving My [very own] life and laying it down on behalf of the sheep.

¹⁶ And I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring and ^[a]impel those also; and they will listen to My voice and heed My call, and so there will be [they will become] one flock under one Shepherd.^(A)

¹⁷ For this [reason] the Father loves Me, because I lay down My [own] life—to take it back again.
