Verse 18; No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Jesus from the moment of creation had eternal life. He has the power to raise the dead to life again. Jesus, the Son of God, is not a coward and does not fear death. When he prayed that the burden be lifted from him it was, not fear of pain or death. Jesus feared being Sin, as he had to become the Sin of Christians and kill it on the cross. In that way his followers were cleansed. Jesus knew that the moments before death when he became sin that God, his father, would reject him. That separation from God is what Jesus feared. That is the pain that is unbearable. Jesus proved he became Sin when he shouted out, asking My God why has thou forsaken me? This is the lie Satan wanted the world to hear, to spread doubt in the minds of mankind. If God rejected Jesus then everything Jesus taught is a lie. God rejected Sin, not his Son Jesus.
