The Man’s Response to Jesus

9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man101 and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”102 9:36 The man103 replied,104 “And who is he, sir, that105 I may believe in him?” 9:37 Jesus told him, “You have seen him; he106 is the one speaking with you.”107 [9:38 He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.108 9:39 Jesus109 said,]110 “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight,111 and the ones who see may become blind.”

9:40 Some of the Pharisees112 who were with him heard this113 and asked him,114 “We are not blind too, are we?”115 9:41 Jesus replied,116 “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin,117 but now because you claim that you can see,118 your guilt119 remains.”120
