John 10:15-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.

16. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.

17. For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.

18. No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father."

19. A dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.

20. Then many of them were saying: "He has a demon or he is insane. Why do you listen him?"
