Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name work many miracles? And then will I declare to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes? He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man? He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.

"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them."

Yet even of the rulers many believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put of the synagogue; for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God. But Jesus cried aloud, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me; and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth him that sent me. I have come a light into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in the darkness. And if any one hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, that will judge him in the last day. Because I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me hath himself committed to me what I should say, and what I should speak; and I know that what he hath committed to me is everlasting life. What I speak therefore, I speak as the Father hath directed me.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham. Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God. Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I proceeded forth and am come; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word. Ye are of your father the Devil, and what your father desireth ye are ready to do. He was a murderer from the beginning; and he abideth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of it. But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I speak truth, Why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth Gods words; for this cause ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
