John 10:17-21

¹⁷“Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.

¹⁸No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”

¹⁹Therefore there was another division among the Jews because of these words.

²⁰Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to him?”

²¹Others were saying: “These are not the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon cannot open blind people's eyes, can it?”
