Yeah, that's what I am quoting.
Jesus actively received his life (again) from God just like the Bible says. Jesus didn't resurrect himself. That word "take it up again" means receive with the idea that Jesus received it from someone else, i.e., Jesus received his life from God, not himself.
to take it up
λαβεῖν (
labein)
Verb - Aorist Infinitive Active
Strong's Greek 2983: (a) I receive, get, (b) I take, lay hold of.

I lay down My life so

I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
