John 10:17 in Context — John 10

15 comme le Père me connaît et comme je connais le Père; et je donne ma vie pour mes brebis.

16 J’ai encore d’autres brebis, qui ne sont pas de cette bergerie; celles-là, il faut que je les amène; elles entendront ma voix,et il y aura un seul troupeau, un seul berger.

17 Le Père m’aime, parce que je donnema vie, afin de la reprendre.

18 Personne ne me l’ôte, mais je la donne de moi-même;j’ai le pouvoir de la donner, et j’ai le pouvoir de la reprendre: tel est l’ordre que j’ai reçu de mon Père.

19 Il y eut de nouveau, à cause de ces paroles, division parmi les Juifs.
