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.

Young's Literal Translation
35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'
36 he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'
37 And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'
38 and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.
39 And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'
40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?'
41 Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.
10 `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
2 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3 to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
4 and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5 and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6 This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

Jesus Affirms His Deity
35 Jesus heard that they had [a](A)put him out, and upon finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the (B)Son of Man?” 36 He answered [b]by saying, “And (C)who is He, [c]Sir, that I may believe in Him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and (D)He is the one who is talking with you.” 38 And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And he (E)worshiped Him. 39 And Jesus said, “(F)For judgment I came into this world, so that (G)those who do not see may see, and (H)those who see may become blind.” 40 Those who were with Him from the Pharisees heard these things and said to Him, “(I)We are not blind too, are we?” 41 Jesus said to them, “(J)If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now that you maintain, ‘(K)We see,’ your sin remains.
Parable of the Good Shepherd
10 “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is (L)a thief and a robber. 2 But the one who enters by the door is (M)a shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep listen to (N)his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and (O)leads them out. 4 When he puts all his own sheep outside, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know (P)his voice. 5 However, a stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know (Q)the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus told them this (R)figure of speech, but they did not understand what the things which He was saying to them [d]meant.
