35 Yeshua heard that they had thrown out the man who could now see, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe that humanity’s child came from God?”

36 And the man answered, “Mister, who is he so that I can believe in him?”

37 “You’ve seen him and heard him and he’s speaking to you right now,” said Yeshua.

38 “I do believe, master,” the man responded. Then he knelt down in front of Yeshua.

39 Yeshua said, “I came into this world to dispense judgement, so that the people who can’t see will be able to see, and so that the ones who can see will become blind.”

40 The Pharisees with him heard that and asked, “Are you saying that we’re blind?”

41 “If you were blind,” Yeshua replied, “you wouldn’t be sinning, but since you all declare that you can see, then your sin remains.
