John 7:41Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?John 7:42Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”John 7:43So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.John 7:44Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.John 7:45Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”John 7:46“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.John 7:47“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.John 7:48“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?John 7:49But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”John 7:50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,John 7:51“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”John 7:52“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”John 7:53Then each went to his own home.John 8:12Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 8:14Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.John 8:17Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.John 8:18I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”John 8:23Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.John 8:25“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.John 8:28So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.John 8:46Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?John 8:48The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”John 8:49“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.John 8:50I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.John 8:56Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”John 8:58“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”John 9:39Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”John 9:40Some 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 10:2But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.John 10:3The 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 10:4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.John 10:5But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”John 10:6Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.John 10:7So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.John 10:8All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.John 10:9I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.John 10:10The 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 10:11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.John 10:12The 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 10:13The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.John 10:14I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,John 10:15just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.John 10:16I 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 10:17The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.John 10:18No 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 10:19Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.John 10:20Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”John 10:21But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”John 10:22At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,John 10:23and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.John 10:24So 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 10:26But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.John 10:27My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.John 10:28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.John 10:29My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.John 10:30I and the Father are one.”John 10:31At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
