John 10:17

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

More from John 10

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Verse 2

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Verse 3

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

Verse 4

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

Verse 5

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
