John 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
In this chapter Jesus reminds the people He is our Good Shepherd, not just another shepherd but the Good Shepherd.
What is the difference between a shepherd and a Good Shepherd? A Good Shepherd will be willing to put His life in danger just to be able to save His sheep.
Any other shepherd would stop at the point of putting his own life in danger just for a sheep... Jesus did not stop!
