10 And Jesus said, I came to open prison doors, to make the blind to see; but, lo, the Pharisees are blind from birth.
11 And when I put the salve of truth upon their eyes, and bid them go and wash, and speak the sacred Word they will not go; they love the dark.
12 A multitude of people pressed about the Lord, and he stood forth and said,
13 You men of Israel, I say to you, The fold of God is large; its walls are strong, it has a gateway in the east, and he who does not enter by the gate into the fold, but climbs into the fold some other way, is thief and comes to rob.
14 The shepherd of the sheep stands by the gate; he gives the secret sign; he knocks; the watchman opens up the gate.
15 And then the shepherd calls his sheep by name; they hear his voice and follow him; they enter through the gate into the fold.
16 The sheep know not a stranger’s voice; they will not follow him; they flee away.
17 The people did not understand the parable that Jesus spoke; and then he said,
18 Christ is the gateway of the fold; I am the shepherd of the sheep, and he who follows me through Christ shall come into the fold where living waters flow, and where rich pastures are.
19 False prophets come and go; they claim to be the shepherds of the sheep; they claim to know the way, but they know not the word of power; the watchman opens not the gate; the sheep heed not their call.
