Spiritual Blindness

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”[a]

36 He answered, “And who is he, sir?[b] Tell me,[c] so that I may believe in him.”

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

38 He said, “Lord, I do believe,” and worshipped him.

39 Then Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge it, so that those who are blind may see and so that those who see may become blind.”

40 Some of the Pharisees who were near him overheard this and asked him, “We aren’t blind, too, are we?”

41 Jesus told them, “If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, ‘We see,’ your sin still exists.”
