John 10:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸No one takes it away from me.
I lay it down of my own free will.
And as I have the power to lay it down,
I have the power to take it up again.
This command I have received from my Father.”

¹⁹Once again, these words provoked a division among the Jews. ²⁰Many of them were saying, “He is possessed and out of his mind. Why should we listen to him?”
