John 9:29-39

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

30“Why, that’s very strange!” the man replied. “He healed my eyes, and yet you don’t know where he comes from?

31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.

32Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind.

33If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have done it.”

34“You were born a total sinner!” they answered. “Are you trying to teach us?” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

35When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

36The man answered, “Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him.”

37“You have seen him,” Jesus said, “and he is speaking to you!”

38“Yes, Lord, I believe!” the man said. And he worshiped Jesus.

39Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”
