John 10:11 Context
9I am the doore by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall goe in and out, and find pasture. 10The theefe commeth not, but for to steale and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and that they might haue it more abundantly. 11I am the good shepheard: the good shepheard giueth his life for the sheepe. 12But hee that is an hireling and not the shepheard, whose owne the sheepe are not, seeth the woolfe coming, and leaueth the sheep, and fleeth: and the woolfe catcheth them, and scattereth the sheepe. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, & careth not for the sheepe.

People's Bible Notes for John 10:11
Joh 10:11 I am the good shepherd. This title, applied to Jehovah in Ps 23:1-6 Eze 34:12, Christ here applies to himself. The mark of the good shepherd is "that he giveth his life for his sheep". In that unsettled country the shepherd had often to defend his flock.
