39 Jesus said, “I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that people who are blind[a] could see. And I came so that people who think they see would become blind.”

40 Some of the Pharisees were near Jesus. They heard him say this. They asked, “What? Are you saying that we are blind too?”

41 Jesus said, “If you were really blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But you say that you see, so you are still guilty.”
