|I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

|I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

|The word for life in this verse is "psuche," while the word for life in verse ten is "zdoe." When contrasted together like this, psuche (often translated "soul") indicates a purely physical kind of life - that kind that indicates nothing more than our bodies are alive. Dzoe indicates a deeper life, a real life, a life that surpasses and supercedes that of mere physical life. A life that is really lived, is more alive, is beyond life. You might say that everyone is alive (psuche), but not everyone truly lives (dzoe). So Jesus is indicating that the shepherd will give up his "physical life" so that the sheep can have a deeper, fuller, more abundant life that overflows beyond measure or imagination. So they will truly "come alive." This is a life that goes beyond mere living, it starts at the MOMENT of salvation, and it never ends.
