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]
