John 9:35-41

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.”

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

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