16 “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 “Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, in order to receive it again.
18 “No one takes 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 command I have received from My Father.”
19 Again there came a division among the Yehuḏim because of these words,
20 and many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad, why do you listen to Him?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one possessed by a demon. Is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?”
