John 10:11-21

Mace(i) 11 I am the true pastor: the true pastor exposes his life for the sheep. 12 but the hireling, who is not the pastor, nor has the property of the sheep, seeing the wolf come, leaves the sheep, and flies away: so the wolf seizes some, and disperses the flock. 13 the hireling flies, because he is an hireling, and is under no concern for the sheep. 14 I am the true pastor, I know my sheep, and my sheep know me, 15 (as the father and I are known to one another:) and I lay down my life for them. 16 other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring; they will hear my voice; and so there shall be but one fold, and one pastor. 17 therefore doth my father love me, because I lay down my life, but I shall reassume it. 18 no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father. 19 There was another schism therefore among the Jews, occasion'd by this discourse. 20 for many of them said, he is possess'd with a demon, and is mad; why do you mind him? 21 others said, this is not the language of one possess'd: can a demon give sight to the blind?
