John 9:39-10:10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see and those who do see may become blind.”(A) 40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?”(B) 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.(C)
Jesus the Good Shepherd
10 “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(D) 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me[a] are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.(E)

New International Version
39 Jesus said,[a] “For judgment(A) I have come into this world,(B) so that the blind will see(C) and those who see will become blind.”(D)
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”(E)
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.(F)
The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.(G) 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(H) 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.(I) He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.(J) 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.(K) 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech,(L) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(M)
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(N) the gate(O) for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me(P) are thieves and robbers,(Q) but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[b] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,(R) and have it to the full.(S)
