John 10:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ “The Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again. ¹⁸ No one can kill me without my consent—I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right and power to lay it down when I want to and also the right and power to take it again. For the Father has given me this right.”

¹⁹ When he said these things, the Jewish leaders were again divided in their opinions about him.
