12He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:
13Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.
14I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,
15Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.
16And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.
17For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.
18No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.
