who were with him heard these words, and said to him: Are we also blind? (41)Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would not have sin. But now ye say: We see. Your sin remains! X. VERILY, verily, I say to you: He that enters not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (2)But he that enters in through the door is a shepherd of the sheep. (3)To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. (4)And when he has put forth all his own, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. (5)And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers. (6)This parable spoke Jesus to them; but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them. (7)Therefore said Jesus to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. (8)All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. (9)I am the door. If any one enter in through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture. (10)The thief comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly. (11)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (12)But he that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. (13)The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep. (14)I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and am known by mine, (15)as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. (16)And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. (17)For this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. (18)No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from my Father. (19)Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words. (20)And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him? (21)Others said: These are not the words of one that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
