John 9:35-10:6

New American Standard Bible

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.
