John 9:35-41

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.”

40Some Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “Are we also blind?”

41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind [to spiritual things], you would have no sin [and would not be blamed for your unbelief]; but since you claim to have [spiritual] sight, [you have no excuse so] your sin and guilt remain.
