6 9:35Jesus heard that they had cast him without, and finding him he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God? 9:36And he answered and said, Who is he, sir, that I shall believe on him? 9:37Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and he that speaks to you is he. 9:38And he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him. 9:39And Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing become blind.
7 9:40And the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, Are we also blind? 9:41Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would not have had sin; but now you say, We see, your sin remains. 10:1I tell you most truly, he that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs in at some other place, he is a thief and robber; 10:2but he that enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 10:3To him the gate-keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out. 10:4When he puts out all his sheep he goes before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. 10:5But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers. 10:6This parable spoke Jesus to them, but they knew not what the words which he spoke to them meant.
8 10:7Then said Jesus to them again, I tell you most truly, I am the door of the sheep. 10:8All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep have not heard them. 10:9I am the door; by me if any one enters in he shall be saved, and go in and out, and find pasturage. 10:10The thief comes not, except to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
9 10:11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. 10:12But the hired servant, and one who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf seizes and scatters them; 10:13for he is a hired servant and cares not for the sheep. 10:14I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, 10:15as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.
10 10:16And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; and them I must lead, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. 10:17Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again. 10:18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have a right to lay it down, and I have a right to take it again; this commandment have I received from my Father. 10:19There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words; 10:20and many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him? 10:21Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
CHAPTER XIII.
CHRIST AT THE FEAST OF THE DEDICATION, AND BEYOND THE JORDAN.
1 10:22IT was the dedication at Jerusalem; it was winter; 10:23and Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. 10:24Then the Jews came around him and said to him, How long do you hold our minds [in doubt]? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. 10:25Jesus answered them, I have told you and you believe not; the works which I perform in my Father's name, these testify of me; 10:26but you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, 10:27My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me, 10:28and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. 10:29My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand. 10:30I and the Father are one.
2 10:31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 10:32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do you stone me? 10:33The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. 10:34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said you are gods? 10:35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken, 10:36do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? 10:37If I do not my Father's works, believe me not; 10:38but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father. 10:39Then they sought again to take him by force; and he escaped out of their hand.
3 10:40And he went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and continued there. 10:41And many came to him and said, John performed no miracle, but all things which John said of this man were true. 10:42And many believed on him there.
