John 10:17-18

New King James Version

¹⁷ “Therefore My Father ^(A)loves Me, ^(B)because I lay down My life that I may take it again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I ^(C)have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. ^(D)This command I have received from My Father.”
