The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.\u00a0No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">John 10:11-18<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1362081285\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1746590496\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3>See also<\/h3>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-2 medium-columns-1 small-columns-1 has-shadow row-box-shadow-1 row-box-shadow-2-hover slider row-slider slider-nav-simple slider-nav-outside\"  data-flickity-options='{&quot;imagesLoaded&quot;: true, &quot;groupCells&quot;: &quot;100%&quot;, &quot;dragThreshold&quot; : 5, &quot;cellAlign&quot;: &quot;left&quot;,&quot;wrapAround&quot;: true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;: true,&quot;percentPosition&quot;: true,&quot;pageDots&quot;: false, &quot;rightToLeft&quot;: false, &quot;autoPlay&quot; : false}' >\n\n  <div class=\"col post-item\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-vertical box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:43%;\">\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:80%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/i-am-the-door\/\" class=\"plain\" aria-label=\"I am the door\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PRBL_S01_E02_THUMB_Temaside-1-658x400.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n          \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-large \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/i-am-the-door\/\" class=\"plain\">I am the door<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the parable of the door, we see a shepherd who had built a gate into the pen for his sheep, so that they could...\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"col post-item\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-vertical box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:43%;\">\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:80%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/the-lost-sheep\/\" class=\"plain\" aria-label=\"The lost sheep\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PRBL_S01_E01_Thumbnail_Hovedside-658x400.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n          \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-large \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/the-lost-sheep\/\" class=\"plain\">The lost sheep<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the story of the lost sheep, we see a shepherd who had 100 sheep but lost one!
