--John-- And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. (9:39) And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? (9:40) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (9:41) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (10:1) But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. (10:2) To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. (10:3) And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (10:4) And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (10:5) This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. (10:6) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. (10:7) All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. (10:8) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (10:9) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. (10:10) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (10:11) But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. (10:12) The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. (10:13) I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. (10:14) As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. (10:15) And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. (10:16) Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. (10:17) 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. This commandment have I received of my Father. (10:18) There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. (10:19) And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? (10:20) Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? (10:21) |
