John 10:17-19

Tree of Life Version

¹⁷ “For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, so that I may take it up again. ¹⁸ No one takes it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it up again. This command I received from My Father.”

¹⁹ Again a division arose among the Judeans because of these words.
