                 (paraphrased)

35 - Jesus heard they had cast the man born blind out of the synagogue, and finding him later, he asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 The man answered, “Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 “You have seen him. It’s he who is speaking to you.” 38 The man said, “Lord, I believe,” and worshiped. 39 Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”

     40 There were some Pharisees nearby who  heard it, and said, “Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus answered, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt. But because you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt  [hamartia - missing the mark, usually translated sin, transgression] remains [menó - remains, abides, stays, continues, dwells, endures, awaits]. 10:1 Truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in another way, is doing so to be a thief and a robber. 2 But the one who enters by the door {the proper entrance} is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens.” {John the Baptizer/voice crying out in the wilderness, and the prophets/prophecies. See how I entered.} “And the sheep hear his voice, and he calls each one by name, and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him. For his sheep know his voice. 5 They won’t listen to the voice of a stranger, nor follow, but will flee.” 6 This parable and way of speaking Jesus spoke to them, but they didn’t understand what he was saying.
