John 10:11

Jesus the Good Shepherd

10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.12The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
