34
The Jews answered him, "You were born full of sin. Do you think you can teach us?" Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
35
Jesus heard that the Jews had thrown the man out [of the synagogue]. So when Jesus found the man, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36
The man replied, "Sir, tell me who he is so that I can believe in him."
37
Jesus told him, "You've seen him. He is the person who is now talking with you."
38
The man bowed in front of Jesus and said, "I believe, Lord."
39
Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge: Blind people will be given sight, and those who can see will become blind."
40
Some Pharisees who were with Jesus heard this. So they asked him, "Do you think we're blind?"
41
Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you wouldn't be sinners. But now you say, 'We see,' so you continue to be sinners.
