So again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” he told them. “I washed and I can see.”

Again they asked the blind man, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” “He’s a prophet,” he said.

They asked them, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

“But we don’t know how he now sees, and we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he’s of age. He will speak for himself.”

This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”

Then they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

The Blind Man’s Sight and the Pharisees’ Blindness

When Jesus heard that they had thrown the man out, He found him and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

“Who is He, Sir, that I may believe in Him?” he asked.

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and asked Him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?”

Then the Jews surrounded Him and asked, “How long are You going to keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You.”

“Where have you put him?” He asked. “Lord,” they told Him, “come and see.”

They were looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple complex: “What do you think? He won’t come to the festival, will He?”

He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”

So he leaned back against Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, who is it?”

“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

The Counselor’s Ministry

“But now I am going away to Him who sent Me, and not one of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Jesus knew they wanted to question Him, so He said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’?

In that day you will not ask Me anything. “I assure you: Anything you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
