John 10:17-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ This is why the Father loves me,^(A) because I lay down my life^(B) so that I may take it up again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”^(C)
