American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
No one {Some ancient authorities read took it away}taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have {Or, right}power to lay it down, and I have {Or, right}power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.
These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee:
How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
