John 10:18-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. 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."

19. After Jesus spoke these words, the Jews again could not agree with each other.

20. Many of them said, "He is controlled by a demon. He has gone crazy! Why should we listen to him?"

21. But others said, "A person controlled by a demon does not say things like this. Can a demon open the eyes of someone who is blind?"

22. Then came the Feast of Hanukkah at Jerusalem. It was winter.
