Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches people (in jerusalem)
And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that those not seeing may see; and those seeing may be made blind. And those of the Pharisees being with Him heard, and said to Him, Whether are we also blind? Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would not have sin: but now you say that, We see: your sin remaineth.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, the one coming not in through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbing up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. And the one coming in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear His voice: and he calls His own sheep by name, and leads them out. read more.
When He may put out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow Him: because they know his voice: but they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him: because they know not the voice of strangers. He spoke this parable to them: but they did not know what things He was speaking to them. Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All so many as came were thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: if any one may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come out, and find pasture. The thief does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them: because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd; I know mine, and mine know me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul for the sheep. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves Me, because I lay down my soul, that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and power to receive it again. I received this commandment from my Father. Again there was a schism among the Jews on account of these words. Then many of them were saying, He has a demon, and is gone mad; why do you hear Him? Others were saying, These are not the words of a demonized man. Whether is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?
