“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back.

and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies,

The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

And I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.”

Jesus *replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends.

just as You gave Him authority over all mankind, so that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life in His name.
