'Lay' in the Bible

Within these lay a large number of the sick—blind, lame, and paralyzed [—waiting for the moving of the water,

as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. I lay down My life for the sheep.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”

“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? I assure you: A rooster will not crow until you have denied Me three times.

No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.
