Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd.” What does the good shepherd do for the sheep, and how is he different from the hired hand? (vv. 11-15)
2. What it means
Jesus says the sheep hear his voice and he knows them (vv. 3-4, 27). What kind of relationship does that show between him and those who follow him?
