¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I ^(A)have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. ^(B)This command I have received from My Father.”

⁶ As He also says in another place:

⁷ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had ^(B)offered up prayers and supplications, ^(C)with vehement cries and tears to Him ^(D)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard ^(E)because of His godly fear, ⁸ though He was a Son, yet He learned ^(F)obedience by the things which He suffered. ⁹ And ^(G)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

¹⁷ “Therefore My Father ^(A)loves Me, ^(B)because I lay down My life that I may take it again.

⁹ But we see Jesus, ^(A)who was made ^[a]a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death ^(B)crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death ^(C)for everyone.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, ^(A)“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

²⁰ Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But He was speaking ^(B)of the temple of His body.
