John 9:35-41

New International Reader's Version

People Who Can’t See the Truth

³⁵ Jesus heard that the Pharisees had thrown the man out of the synagogue. When Jesus found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

³⁶ “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me, so I can believe in him.”

³⁷ Jesus said, “You have now seen him. In fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

³⁸ Then the man said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge it. I have come so that people who are blind will see. I have come so that people who can see will become blind.”

⁴⁰ Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this. They asked, “What? Are we blind too?”

⁴¹ Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, you remain guilty.
