Where it is used
- John 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
- John 9:14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
- John 9:15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
- John 9:16 Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
- John 9:17 So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
- John 9:18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
- John 9:19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
- John 9:20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
- John 9:21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
- John 9:22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
- John 9:23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
- John 9:24 So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
- John 9:26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
- John 9:28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
- John 9:29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
- John 9:30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
- John 9:31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
- John 9:32 Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
- John 9:35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
- John 9:37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
- John 9:38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
- John 9:39 Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
- John 9:40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
- John 9:41 “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
- John 10:1 “Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
- John 10:2 But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
- John 10:3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
- John 10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
- John 10:5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
- John 10:6 Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
- John 10:7 So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
- John 10:8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
- John 10:9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
- John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
- John 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
- John 10:12 The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
- John 10:13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
- John 10:14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
- John 10:15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
- John 10:16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
- John 10:17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.
- John 10:18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
- John 10:19 Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
- John 10:21 But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
- John 10:22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
- John 10:23 and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
- John 10:24 So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
- John 10:25 “I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
- John 10:26 But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
- John 10:27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
- John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.
- John 10:29 My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
- John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”
- John 10:31 At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
- John 10:32 But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”
- John 10:33 “We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”
- John 10:34 Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
- John 10:35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
- John 10:36 then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
- John 10:37 If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
