John 10:16-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ But I have other sheep^(A) that are not from this sheep pen; 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 lay down my life^(D) so that 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)
