36“Who is He, Sir, ithat I may believe in Him?” he asked.
37Jesus answered, “You have seen Him; in fact, He is the One speaking with you.”
38“I believe, Lord!” he said, and he worshiped Him.
39Jesus said, “I came into this world jfor judgment, kin order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.” l

KJV 1900King James Version
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
