John 9:35-10:6

New King James Version

True Vision and True Blindness

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had ^(A)found him, He said to him, “Do you ^(B)believe in ^(C)the Son of ^[a]God?”

³⁶ He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and ^(D)it is He who is talking with you.”

³⁸ Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he ^(E)worshiped Him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, ^(F)“For judgment I have come into this world, ^(G)that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”

⁴⁰ Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, ^(H)and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, ^(I)“If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

Jesus the True Shepherd

10 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. ² But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. ³ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by ^(J)name and leads them out. ⁴ And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. ⁵ Yet they will by no means follow a ^(K)stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” ⁶ Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
