Psychological interpretation
John 10:17-18 ('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'): nothing is done to me that I do not do. Early lectures pair it with 'no man comes unto me save I call him' and 'you have not chosen me, I have chosen you'; later ones read it as God laying down his life by becoming man, and Judas's betrayal as self-betrayal.
