13. This happens because he is a hireling and the tzon means nothing to him.
14. Ani Hu the Ro'eh HaTov, and I have da'as of my tzon and my tzon has da'as of me. [SHEMOT 33:12]
15. Just as HaAv has da'as of me and I have da'as of HaAv, so I lay down my neshamah for the tzon.
16. And another tzon I have which is not of this mikhla (fold [enclosure]); those also it is necessary for me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and they will become eder echad with Ro'eh echad (One flock with one Shepherd). [YESHAYAH 56:8; YECHEZKEL 34:23; 37:24]
17. Therefore, HaAv has ahavah for me, because I lay down my neshamah that I may take it up again.
18. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have samchut (authority) to lay it down, and I have samchut to receive it again. This mitzvah I received from HaAv of me. [YESHAYAH 52:13-53:12]
19. There was a machloket (division of dissension) again among those of Yehudah, because of these dvarim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
20. And many of them were saying, He has a shed (demon), and He is meshugga --why do you listen to him? [MELACHIM BAIS 9:11; YIRMEYAH 29:26]
21. Others said, These dvarim are not of one being possessed of shedim. Surely a shed (demon) is not able to open the eyes of an ivver (blind man)? [SHEMOT 4:11]
22. Then the Chag (Festival) of Channukah took place in Yerushalayim. It was winter.
23. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was walking around in the Beis Hamikdash in the area called Ulam Shlomo (Solomon's Colonnade).
24. Then those of Yehudah encircled Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and were saying to him, How much longer are you going to hold our neshamot in suspense? If you are the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, tell us openly.
