John 10:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ The Father loves me because I ·give [lay down] my life so that I can ·take [receive] it back again. ¹⁸ No one takes it away from me; I ·give [lay down] my own life ·freely [voluntarily; of my own free will]. I have the ·right [power; authority] to ·give [lay down] my life, and I have the ·right [power; authority] to ·take [receive] it back. This is what my Father commanded me to do.”

¹⁹ Again ·the leaders did not agree with each other [^Lthere was a division among the Jews] because of these words of Jesus.
