I am the good shepherd I know my own and my own know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father I lay my life down for the sheep and I have other sheep that are not of this fold I must bring them also and they will listen to my voice so their will be one flock one shepherd for this reason the Father loves me because I lay down my life that I might take it up again no one takes it from me but I lay it down of my own accord I have authority to lay it down and I have authority take it up again this charge I have received from my Father there was again a division among the Jews because of these words.
