John 9:29-39

29 "We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, ¹we do not know where He is from."

30 The man answered and said to them, "Well, here * is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

31 "We know that ²God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

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

33 "³If this man were not from God, He could do nothing *."

34 They answered him, "⁴You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?" So they ⁵put him out.

Jesus Affirms His Deity

35 Jesus heard that they had ⁶put him out, and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the ⁷Son of Man?"

36 He answered, "⁸Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"

37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and ⁹He is the one who is talking with you."

38 And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he ¹⁰worshiped Him.

39 And Jesus said, "¹¹For judgment I came into this world, so that ¹²those who do not see may see, and that ¹³those who see may become blind."
