know not whence he is, and he has opened my eyes. [9:31]We
know that God hears not sinners; but if one is a worshipper of God, and
does his will, him he hears. [9:32]Since the world began it has not
been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind; [9:33]unless
this man was from God he would have been able to do nothing. [9:34]They
answered and said to him, You were born entirely in sins, and do you
teach us? And they cast him without.
6 [9:35]Jesus heard that they had cast him without, and finding him he
said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God? [9:36]And he answered
and said, Who is he, sir, that I shall believe on him? [9:37]Jesus said
to him, You have both seen him, and he that speaks to you is he.
[9:38]And he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him. [9:39]And Jesus
said, I came into this world for judgment, that those not seeing may
see, and those seeing become blind.
7 [9:40]And the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said
to him, Are we also blind? [9:41]Jesus said to them, If you were blind
you would not have had sin; but now you say, We see, your sin remains.
[10:1]I 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;
[10:2]but he that enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
[10:3]To him the gate-keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and
he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out. [10:4]When he puts out
all his sheep he goes before them, and the sheep follow him; for they
know his voice. [10:5]But a stranger they will not follow, but will
flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers. [10:6]This
parable spoke Jesus to them, but they knew not what the words which he
spoke to them meant.
8 [10:7]Then said Jesus to them again, I tell you most truly, I am the
door of the sheep. [10:8]All who came before me are thieves and
robbers; but the sheep have not heard them. [10:9]I am the door; by me
if any one enters in he shall be saved, and go in and out, and find
pasturage. [10:10]The thief comes not, except to steal, and kill, and
destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
9 [10:11]I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for
the sheep. [10:12]But 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; [10:13]for he is
