John 9:29–39

²⁹We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

³⁰“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. ³¹We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will. ³²Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. ³³If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

³⁴They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

³⁵When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man^b?”

³⁶“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

³⁷“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”

³⁸“Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.

³⁹Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”^c
