9:40-10:24

[9:40] Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? [9:41] Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth. [10:1] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. [10:2] But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [10:3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. [10:4] When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [10:5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. [10:6] This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. [10:7] Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. [10:8] All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. [10:9] I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. [10:10] The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. [10:11] I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. [10:12] He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them: [10:13] he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. [10:14] I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, [10:15] even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. [10:16] And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd. [10:17] Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. [10:18] No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father. [10:19] There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words. [10:20] And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him? [10:21] Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? [10:22] And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: [10:23] it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch. [10:24] The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
