John 9:34-41 ▼

34 The Jews answered him, |You were born full of sin. Do you think you can teach us?| Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

35 Jesus heard that the Jews had thrown the man out [of the synagogue]. So when Jesus found the man, he asked him, |Do you believe in the Son of Man?|

36 The man replied, |Sir, tell me who he is so that I can believe in him.|

37 Jesus told him, |You've seen him. He is the person who is now talking with you.|

38 The man bowed in front of Jesus and said, |I believe, Lord.|

39 Then Jesus said, |I have come into this world to judge: Blind people will be given sight, and those who can see will become blind.|

40 Some Pharisees who were with Jesus heard this. So they asked him, |Do you think we're blind?|

41 Jesus told them, |If you were blind, you wouldn't be sinners. But now you say, 'We see,' so you continue to be sinners.
