John 9:24-41 ▼

24 They called, therefore, the man who was blind a second time, and they said to him, “Give glory to God, we have known that this Man is a sinner”;

25 he answered, therefore, and said, “If He is a sinner—I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.”

26 And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also wish to become His disciples?”

28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;

29 we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”

30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known where He is from, and He opened my eyes!

31 And we have known that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be a worshiper of God, and may do His will, He hears him;

32 from the age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been born blind;

33 if this One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”

34 They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.

35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth outside, and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;

38 and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.

39 And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.”

40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”

41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you were not having had sin, but now you say—We see, therefore your sin remains.”
