John 9:29-41
9:29 We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man
comes from!”
9:30 The man replied,
“This is a remarkable thing,
that you don’t know where he comes from, and yet he caused me to see!
9:31 We know that God doesn’t listen to
sinners, but if anyone is devout
and does his will, God
listens to
him.
9:32 Never before
has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.
9:33 If this man
were not from God, he could do nothing.”
9:34 They replied,
“You were born completely in sinfulness,
and yet you presume to teach us?”
So they threw him out.
The Man’s Response to Jesus
9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
9:36 The man replied, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?”
9:37 Jesus told him, “You have seen him; he is the one speaking with you.”
9:38 [He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
9:39 Jesus said,] “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight, and the ones who see may become blind.”
9:40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked him, “We are not blind too, are we?”
9:41 Jesus replied, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin, but now because you claim that you can see, your guilt remains.”
