John 9:39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."
John 9:40 Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, "We are not blind too, are we?"
John 9:41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
John 10:1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
John 10:2 "But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
John 10:3 "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
John 10:4 "When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
John 10:5 "A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
John 10:6 This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.
John 10:7 ¶ So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:8 "All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:11 ¶ "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
John 10:12 "He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
John 10:13 "He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.
John 10:15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
John 10:16 "I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
John 10:17 "For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.
John 10:18 "No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."
