John 10:18

After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.

Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

You are witnesses of these things.

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”

With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Yahweh.

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”

Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.

For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
