I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
15
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
16
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17
Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
18
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."

Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.
20
And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"
21
Others said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
22
Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23
And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24
Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."
