'Lay' in the Bible

In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
