this [ Jesus ] we know not , whence he is . ' The man answered and said unto them ; ' Herein is a wonderful thing , that ye know not whence he is , though he hath opened mine eyes . We know that God heareth not sinners ; but if any one be a worshipper of God ., and do his will , him he heareth . Never was it heard that anyone opened
thje ^ ygs _ joj ^ ne _ born ^ Jblmd _;_ if thjs man were not irony God , he couHdo nothing . ' They answered and said unto him : * Thou wast altogether born in sins , and dost thou teach us ? ' And they cast him out [ i . e . out of the assembly , before which he was examined , probably intending it to operate as a general excommunication . ] Jesus heard that they had cast him out , and having found him , said unto him : Believest thou in the Son of God ? ' He answered
and said * : Who is he , Lord , that I may believe in him ? Jesus said unto him : * Thou hast both seen him , and he who speaketh with thee , is he . ' Then he said : I believe , Lord ; ' and prostrated himself before him , [ according to the eastern custom of inferiors towards their acknowledged superiors in token of profound veneration . ] And Jesus said : 'For judgment am I come into this world , that they who see not , may see , and they who see may be made blind . ' Some of the Pharisees , who were with him , heard
this , and said unto him : * Are we also blind ? ' Jesus said unto them : If ye were blind , ye would not have sin ; but now ye say , f We see , " therefore your sin remaineth . Verily , verily , I say unto you : He who entereth not by the door into the sheepfold , but climbeth up some other way , is a thiefand a robber ; but he who entereth by the door , is the shepherd of the sheep . To him the door-keeper openeth , and the sheep hear his voice ; and lie calleth his own sheep by name , and leadeth them forth . And when
he driveth forth his own sheep , he goeth before them ; and the sheep follow him , for they know his voice Whereas a stranger they will not follow , but will flee from him , for they know not the voice of strangers . ' This parable spake Jesus unto them : but they understood not what he spake unto them . Then again said Jesus unto them : ' Verily , verily j I say unto you , I am the door of the sheep [ fold . ] All who , have come" before me , are thieves and robbers ; but the sheep heard them not . I am the door ; by me
if any [ sheep ] enter , he shall be safe , and shall go in and out , and find pasture . The thief comeih only to steal , and kill , and destroy ; I am come that [ the sheep ] may have life and abundance . I am the good shepherd ; the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep . But he who is a hireling and not the shepherd ; whose own the sheep are not , seeth the wolf coming , and leaveth the sheep ,
and fleeth ; and the wolf seizeth and scattereth the sheep . The hireling fleeth , because he is a hireling , and careth not for . the sheep . I an ) the good shepherd , and I know my [ sheep , ] and am known by mine , * as the father knoweth me , amyi know the father ; and 1 lay down ray life for ( he sheep . And other sheep I have , which are not of this fold ; [ I e , the Gentiles ;] them also must I
