John 9:38-40

Expanded Bible

³⁸ He said, “·Lord [^Cthe same word is rendered “sir” in v. 36, but here may have a more solemn sense], I ·believe [trust]!” Then the man ·worshiped [prostrated himself before] Jesus.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I came into this world ·so that the world could be judged [^Lfor judgment]. I came so that the blind would see and so that those who see will become blind.” [^CThose who acknowledge they are spiritually blind will see the truth; and those who think they see spiritually (the Jewish religious leaders) are actually blind; Is. 6:10; 42:19.]

⁴⁰ Some of the Pharisees who were nearby heard Jesus say this and asked, “Are you saying we are blind, too?”
