The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Afterward, Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

When they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on do not sin any longer.” ]]

Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’ ?”

Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was dissension among them.

So they *said again to the man who was blind, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

So for a second time they summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if someone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and yet you are teaching us?” So they put him out.

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now that you maintain, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

For some were assuming, since Judas kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need for the feast”; or else, that he was to give something to the poor.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

Jesus’ Warning

“These things I have spoken to you so that you will not be led into sin.

And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:

regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;
