John 10:17 CPDV

¹⁵  just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.

¹⁶  And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.

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. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.'

¹⁹  A dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.
