I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hirling, and careth not for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 10: 11-18.
