John 10:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶ I have other sheep^(A) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock^(B) and one shepherd.^{(C) 17} The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life^(D)—only to take it up again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.^(E) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”^(F)
