"The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (10, 11-18)
At that time, Jesus declared: “I am the good shepherd, the true shepherd, who gives his life for his sheep. The hired shepherd is not the shepherd, the sheep are not his: if he sees the wolf coming, he forsakes the sheep and flees; the wolf grabs them and scatters them. This shepherd is just a hireling, and the sheep don't really matter to him. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and my sheep know me, as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep. I still have other sheep, which are not from this enclosure: these too, I must lead them. They will listen to my voice: there will be one flock and one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me: because I give my life, to receive it again. No one can take it away from me: I give it of myself. I have the power to give it, I also have the power to receive it again: this is the commandment that I received from my Father. "
The Gospel of the Lord.
