John 10:11
10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:17-18
10:17 This is why the Father loves me – because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.
10:18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
