John 10:12 Context
10The theefe commeth not, but for to steale and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and that they might haue it more abundantly. 11I am the good shepheard: the good shepheard giueth his life for the sheepe. 12But hee that is an hireling and not the shepheard, whose owne the sheepe are not, seeth the woolfe coming, and leaueth the sheep, and fleeth: and the woolfe catcheth them, and scattereth the sheepe. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, & careth not for the sheepe. 14I am the good shepheard, and know my sheepe, and am knowen of mine.
