(Joh 9:1) And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. (Joh 9:2) And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? (Joh 9:3) Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. (Joh 9:4) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (Joh 9:5) As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. (Joh 9:6) When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, (Joh 9:7) And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. (Joh 9:8) The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? (Joh 9:9) Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. (Joh 9:10) Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? (Joh 9:11) He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. (Joh 9:12) Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. (Joh 9:13) They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. (Joh 9:14) And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. (Joh 9:15) Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. (Joh 9:16) Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. (Joh 9:17) They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. (Joh 9:18) But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. (Joh 9:19) And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? (Joh 9:20) His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: (Joh 9:21) But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. (Joh 9:22) These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. (Joh 9:23) Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. (Joh 9:24) Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. (Joh 9:25) He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (Joh 9:26) Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? (Joh 9:27) He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? (Joh 9:28) Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses disciples. (Joh 9:29) We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. (Joh 9:30) The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. (Joh 9:31) Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. (Joh 9:32) Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (Joh 9:33) If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. (Joh 9:34) They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. (Joh 9:35) Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? (Joh 9:36) He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? (Joh 9:37) And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. (Joh 9:38) And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. (Joh 9:39) And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. (Joh 9:40) And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? (Joh 9:41) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (Joh 10:1) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (Joh 10:2) But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. (Joh 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. (Joh 10:4) And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (Joh 10:5) And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (Joh 10:6) This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. (Joh 10:7) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. (Joh 10:8) All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. (Joh 10:9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (Joh 10:10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (Joh 10:11) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (Joh 10:12) But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. (Joh 10:13) The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. (Joh 10:14) I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. (Joh 10:15) As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. (Joh 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 there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (Joh 10:17) Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. (Joh 10:18) No man taketh it 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 have I received of my Father. (Joh 10:19) There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. (Joh 10:20) And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? (Joh 10:21) Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? (Joh 10:22) And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. (Joh 10:23) And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomons porch. (Joh 10:24) Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. (Joh 10:25) Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Fathers name, they bear witness of me. (Joh 10:26) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. (Joh 10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (Joh 10:28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (Joh 10:29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Fathers hand. (Joh 10:30) I and my Father are one. (Joh 10:31) Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. (Joh 10:32) Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? (Joh 10:33) The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. (Joh 10:34) Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (Joh 10:35) If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; (Joh 10:36) Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? (Joh 10:37) If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (Joh 10:38) But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. (Joh 10:39) Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, (Joh 10:40) And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. (Joh 10:41) And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. (Joh 10:42) And many believed on him there.
