“ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

No one takes it from me. I give it up myself. I have the authority to give it up. And I have the authority to take it back again. I received this command from my Father.”

But we do see Jesus already given a crown of glory and honor. He was made lower than the angels for a little while. He suffered death. By the grace of God, he tasted death for everyone. That is why he was given his crown.

He was treated badly and made to suffer. But he didn’t open his mouth. He was led away like a lamb to be killed. Sheep are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth.He was arrested and sentenced to death. Then he was taken away. He was cut off from this life. He was punished for the sins of my people. Who among those who were living at that time tried to stop what was happening?He was given a grave with those who were evil. But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man. He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone. And he had never lied to anyone.The Lord says,“ It was my plan to crush him and cause him to suffer. I made his life an offering to pay for sin. But he will see all his children after him. In fact, he will continue to live. My plan will be brought about through him.After he has suffered, he will see the light of life. And he will be satisfied. My godly servant will make many people godly because of what he will accomplish. He will be punished for their sins.So I will give him a place of honor among those who are great. He will be rewarded just like others who win the battle. That’s because he was willing to give his life as a sacrifice. He was counted among those who had committed crimes. He took the sins of many people on himself. And he gave his life for those who had done what is wrong.”

They know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I give my life for the sheep.

“ Just as the Father has loved me, I have loved you. Now remain in my love.If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love. In the same way, I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

“ Here is my servant. I take good care of him. I have chosen him. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

“ Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory you have given me. You gave it to me because you loved me before the world was created.“ Father, you are holy. The world does not know you, but I know you. Those you have given me know you have sent me.I have shown you to them. And I will continue to show you to them. Then the love you have for me will be in them. I myself will be in them.”

The Lord wanted his people to see how great and glorious his law is. He wanted to show them that he always does what is right.

Some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew began to argue. They argued about special washings to make people“ clean.”

I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do.So now, Father, give glory to me in heaven where your throne is. Give me the glory I had with you before the world began.
