John 10:15-19 God's Word Translation (GW)

15. So I give my life for my sheep.

16. I also have other sheep that are not from this pen. I must lead them. They, too, will respond to my voice. So they will be one flock with one shepherd.

17. The Father loves me because I give my life in order to take it back again.

18. No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the authority to take my life back again. This is what my Father ordered me to do.”

19. The Jews were divided because of what Jesus said.
