John 10:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ But I have other sheep^(A) that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.^{(B) 17} This is why the Father loves Me,^(C) because I am laying down My life^(D) so I may take it up again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”^(E)
