John 10:17-21

¹⁸No one took it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This is the command which I received from my Father.”

¹⁹In consequence of these words a difference of opinion again arose amongst the people.

²¹Others said, “This is not the teaching of one who is possessed by a demon. Can a demon give sight to the blind?”
