5For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus: 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized. 7Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man. 8He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.

15He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature. 16For in him was created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through him and in him. 17And he is before all, and in him all things continue. 18And he is the head of his body, the Church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that in all things he may hold primacy. 19For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him, 20and that, through him, all things be reconciled to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, for the things that are on earth, as well as the things that are in heaven.

12Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
28even as the Son of man has not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a redemption for many.”
22He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.
11I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
