The Life of Jesus

The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.

Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde.

If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.

They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.

Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God?

He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?

And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.

Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.

And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde.

And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, and sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also?

Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that entreth not in by the doore into the sheepefolde, but climeth vp another way, he is a theefe and a robber.

But he that goeth in by the doore, is the shepheard of the sheepe.

To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.

And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.

And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers.

This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.

Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.

All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.

I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.

The theefe commeth not, but for to steale, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance.

I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe.

But an hireling, and hee which is not the shepheard, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe comming, and hee leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattreth the sheepe.

So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe.
