Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.
PURPOSE OF THE SIGN
Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
“But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.
So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?”
Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”
“We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “We are not blind too, are we?”
and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.
He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.
Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.
So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”
They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.
John 9:22
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
“I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.
Ezek. 34:11
“I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God.
Ezek. 34
Ezek. 34:
therefore, I will deliver My flock, and they will no longer be a prey; and I will judge between one sheep and another.
“Then I will set over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.
“To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
“When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
John 10:
John 10:5
“A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
“But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.
“I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
John 11:52
