In context
14 I am that good shepheard, and knowe mine, and am knowen of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe.
16 Other sheepe I haue also, which are not of this folde: them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce: and there shalbe one sheepefolde, and one shepheard.
17 Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe: this commandement haue I receiued of my Father.
19 Then there was a dissension againe among the Iewes for these sayings,
20 And many of them sayd, He hath a deuill, and is mad: why heare ye him?
