John 10:17-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ This is why the Father loves Me,^(A) because I am laying down My life^(B) so 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)
