The Life of Jesus

The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.

Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth.

From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.

Unless this man were of God, he could not do anything.

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 when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?

He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.

And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.

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.

And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?

Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.

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.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.

And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.

This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke.

Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.

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.

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.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

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,

And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
