The Good Shepherd

John 10:11-18 (English Standard Version)

11(A) I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd(B) lays down his life for the sheep. 12He who is(C) a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and(D) leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and(E) scatters them. 13He flees because(F) he is a hired hand and(G) cares nothing for the sheep. 14(H) I am the good shepherd.(I) I know my own and(J) my own know me, 15(K) just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and(L) I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And(M) I have other sheep that are not of this fold.(N) I must bring them also, and(O) they will listen to my voice. So there will be(P) one flock,(Q) one shepherd. 17(R) For this reason the Father loves me,(S) because(T) I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18(U) No one takes it from me, but(V) I lay it down(W) of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and(X) I have authority to take it up again.(Y) This charge I have received from my Father.”

Psalm 23

The LORD Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.

1The LORD is my(A) shepherd; I shall not(B) want.
2He makes me lie down in green(C) pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[a]
3He(D) restores my soul.
He(E) leads me in(F) paths of righteousness[b]
for his(G) name’s sake.4Even though I(H) walk through the valley of(I) the shadow of death,[c]
I will(J) fear no evil,
for(K) you are with me;
your(L) rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5You(M) prepare a table before me
in(N) the presence of my enemies;
you(O) anoint my head with oil;
my(P) cup overflows.
6Surely[d] goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall(Q) dwell[f] in the house of the LORD
(R) forever.[g]
