Good Shepherd Introduction

The first 19 verses of John 10 actually finish the rebuke Jesus gave to the Pharisees in John 9:40, "Are we blind also?" Jesus healed the man born blind and when the neighbors saw it, there some dispute as to his identity. However, their main concern was the fact that Jesus healed him on a Sabbath day. The brought him to the Pharisees who questioned him and after a grueling interrogation, excommunicated him from the synagogue, demonstrating that they were terrible shepherds of God's flock. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, found him, saved him, and brought into His fold.
