¹⁷ For this reason the Father loves Me, because I ^(A)lay down My life so that I may take it back. ^18 (B)No one has taken it away from Me, but I ^(C)lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. ^(D)This commandment I received from My Father.”

²⁹ And now ^(A)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. ³⁰ I will not speak much more with you, for ^(B)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has ^[a]nothing in regard to Me, ³¹ but so that the world may know that I love the Father, ^[b]I do exactly as ^(C)the Father commanded Me. Get up, ^(D)let’s go from here.

¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; ^(A)the cup which the Father has given Me, am I not to drink it?”

¹⁰ For ^[a]the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but ^[b]the life that He lives, He lives to ^[c]God.

^5 (A)Have this attitude ^[a]in yourselves which was also in ^(B)Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, as He already ^(C)existed in the ^(D)form of God, ^(E)did not consider equality with God something to be ^[b]grasped, ⁷ but ^[c](F)emptied Himself by taking the form of a ^(G)bond-servant and ^[d](H)being born in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, ^(I)He humbled Himself by becoming ^(J)obedient to the point of death: ^(K)death ^[e]on a cross.

⁸ Although He was ^(A)a Son, He learned ^(B)obedience from the things which He suffered.
