John 10:11-16
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He
who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the
wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and
scatters them. 13 He flees because he is
a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I
am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the
sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that
are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.
So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
Psalm 23
The Lord Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
23 The
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[a]
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[b]
for
his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,[c]
I
will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your
rod and your staff,
they
comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in
the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my
cup overflows.
6 Surely[d] goodness
and mercy[e] shall
follow me
all
the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[f] in the
house of the Lord
forever.[g]
