Yohanes 10:11

10:11 “I am the good ¹  shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life ²  for the sheep.

Yohanes 10:18

10:18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down ³  of my own free will. ⁴  I have the authority ⁵  to lay it down, and I have the authority ⁶  to take it back again. This commandment ⁷  I received from my Father.”

Matius 20:28

20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom ⁸  for many.”

Matius 27:50

27:50 Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.

Markus 15:37

15:37 But Jesus cried out with a loud voice and breathed his last.

Lukas 23:46

23:46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” ⁹  And after he said this he breathed his last.

Filipi 2:8

2:8 He humbled himself,

by becoming obedient to the point of death

– even death on a cross!

Ibrani 2:14-15

2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in ¹⁰  their humanity, ¹¹  so that through death he could destroy ¹²  the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil), 2:15 and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death.

[10:11]  ¹ tn Or “model” (see R. E. Brown, John [AB], 1:386, who argues that “model” is a more exact translation of καλός [kalos] here).

[10:11]  ² tn Or “The good shepherd dies willingly.”

[10:11]  sn Jesus speaks openly of his vicarious death twice in this section (John 10:11, 15). Note the contrast: The thief takes the life of the sheep (10:10), the good shepherd lays down his own life for the sheep. Jesus is not speaking generally here, but specifically: He has his own substitutionary death on the cross in view. For a literal shepherd with a literal flock, the shepherd’s death would have spelled disaster for the sheep; in this instance it spells life for them (Compare the worthless shepherd of Zech 11:17, by contrast).

[10:18]  ³ tn Or “give it up.”

[10:18]  ⁴ tn Or “of my own accord.” “Of my own free will” is given by BDAG 321 s.v. ἐμαυτοῦ c.

[10:18]  ⁵ tn Or “I have the right.”

[10:18]  ⁶ tn Or “I have the right.”

[10:18]  ⁷ tn Or “order.”

[20:28]  ⁸ sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in our place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that we deserved for sin.

[23:46]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Ps 31:5. It is a psalm of trust. The righteous, innocent sufferer trusts in God. Luke does not have the cry of pain from Ps 22:1 (cf. Matt 27:46; Mark 15:34), but notes Jesus’ trust instead.

[2:14]  ¹⁰ tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).

[2:14]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the same.”

[2:14]  ¹² tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”
