John 9:29-39

29We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don’t know where this man came from.”

30The man replied to them, “That’s amazing! You don’t know where he’s from. Yet, he gave me sight.

31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners. Instead, he listens to people who are devout and who do what he wants.

32Since the beginning of time, no one has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a person born blind.

33If this man were not from God, he couldn’t do anything like that.”

34The Jews answered him, “You were born full of sin. Do you think you can teach us?” Then they threw him out ⌞of the synagogue⌟.

35Jesus 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?”

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

37Jesus told him, “You’ve seen him. He is the person who is now talking with you.”

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

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