Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐδεὶς ἦρεν αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ
no_one took_up it from me
Here Jesus refers to his life as if it were an object that someone could take away. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “No one is causing me to die”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν & θεῖναι αὐτήν
I /am/_laying it & /to/_lay it
See how you translated the similar phrase in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “I voluntarily die … to voluntarily die”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ
I /am/_laying it of myself
The reflexive pronoun myself is used here to emphasize that Jesus voluntarily lays down his own life. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “I myself lay it down”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πάλιν λαβεῖν αὐτήν
again /to/_take it
See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “to cause myself to be alive again”

τοῦ Πατρός μου
the Father ˱of˲_me
Father is an important title for God.
10:18 No one can take my life from me: The Son’s death was voluntary. Jesus was not a martyr or a victim. His decision to die was freely given in obedience and intimate relationship with his Father (see Acts 2:23-24).
• Jesus’ resurrection was not an afterthought in which God rescued his Son from tragedy. God could not be contained by a tomb, and since Jesus and the Father are one, Jesus possessed the authority to rise from death.
