9:39. And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind. I am come, etc. . .Not that Christ came for that end, that any one should be made blind: but that the Jews, by the abuse of his coming, and by their not receiving him, brought upon themselves this judgment of blindness. 9:40. And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind? 9:41. Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth. If you were blind, etc. . .If you were invincibly ignorant, and had neither read the scriptures, nor seen my miracles, you would not be guilty of the sin of infidelity: but now, as you boast of your knowledge of the scriptures, you are inexcusable. John Chapter 10 Christ is the door and the good shepherd. He and his Father are one. 10:1. Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another 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. And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 10:5. But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers. 10:6. This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke. 10:7. Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 10:8. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not. 10:9. I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures. 10:10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly. 10:11. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. 10:12. But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep, 10:13. And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. 10:14. I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. 10:15. As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. 10:16. And other sheep I have that 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. 10:17. Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
