John 10:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ I also have other sheep, and I must bring them too. They do not belong to this group of sheep. But they also will listen to my voice. So all the sheep will become one group, and they will have one shepherd. ¹⁷ The Father loves me because I choose to die for my sheep. But after I give my life like that, I will become alive again. ¹⁸ Nobody can take my life away from me. Instead, I myself can choose to die. I have authority to do that. I also have authority to become alive again. My Father has said that I must do that.’
