And he worshipped him. John x. 1. 40. 41. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other 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 putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his. : voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them; but they under- 7. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. All that ever came before me, are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John x. 16. 17. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; Jerusalem. them also I must bring; and they shall hear and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. my voice: Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down 18.

And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil: can a devil open the eyes of the blind? SECTION XXI. Christ publicly asserts his Divinity. JOHN X. 22-38. And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Jesus answered them, I told you, and But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life: and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. 31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32. 33. 34. 35. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works đơ ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken; 36. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? I 38. John x. 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not, But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. John x. 39. 40. 41. SECTION XXII. In consequence of the opposition of the Jews, Christ retires JOHN X. 39. to the end. Therefore they sought again to take him but he escaped out of their hand, And went away again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. Jerusalem. Lu. xiii. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. SECTION XXIII 22.

And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer, and say unto you, I know you not, whence ye are : Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 22 Sect. 23 to 29.

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to-day and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless, I must walk to-day, and to-morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as an hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. SECTION XXIV. Christ dines with a Pharisee-Parable of the great Supper. And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go: And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have 6. And they could not answer him again to these things. 8.

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours ; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maim- 14. And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompence 15. 16. 、 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many : And sent his servant at supper-time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore So that servant came, and shewed his Lord these 22.
