{For this reason} (dia touto). Points to the following
hoti clause. The Father's love for the Son is drawn out ( Joh

does for us what any good shepherd does ( 10:11 ) as he has

{That I may take it again} (hina palin lab(9320)aut(886e)). Purpose
clause with hina and second aorist active subjunctive of

resurrection. "The purpose of the Passion was not merely to

There is spontaneity in the surrender to death and in the taking
life back again (Dods).
