John 9:29-39

29We know [for certain] that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this Man, we do not know where He is from.”

30The man replied, “Well, this is astonishing! You do not know where He comes from, and yet He opened my eyes!

31We know [according to your tradition] that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone fears God and does His will, He hears him.

32Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

33If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything [like this because God would not hear His prayer].”

34They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins [from head to foot], and you [presume to] teach us?” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

35Jesus heard that they had put him out [of the synagogue], and finding him, He asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

36He answered, “Who is He, Sir? Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

37Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and [in fact] He is the one who is talking with you.”

38And he said, “Lord, I believe [in You and Your word]!” And he worshiped Him [with reverence and awe].

39Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”
