The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good Shepherd. 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. John 10:10-12
