SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:35–41: The blind man could see but the Pharisees could not see who Jesus was

This section tells how the blind man whom Jesus healed believed in him. Jesus said that he came so those who do not see could see, and those who see would become blind. Jesus then told some Pharisees who heard him that because they said that they could see, their sin was not forgiven.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

The man whom Jesus healed saw who Jesus was

Jesus makes the blind to see and those who see to be blind

Spiritual blindness

9:36a

“Who is He, Sir?” he replied.

The man replied, “Who is he, sir?
The man asked Jesus, “Sir, who is the/this Son of Man?
The man answered, “Sir, (CEV)

9:36b

“Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

Tell me so I can believe in him.”
Tell me who he is because I want to believe in him.”
if you^(sing) will tell me who he is, I will put my faith in him.” (CEV)

9:36a–b

“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”: The man addressed Jesus with respect and humility. He had never seen Jesus before but had perhaps recognized his voice as the man who healed him. He was willing to believe whatever Jesus told him about the Son of Man, the Messiah.

The Greek text does not include the words Tell me. The BSB has supplied them to make the meaning clear. Here are other ways to translate these sentences:

And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him? (NET)

Tell me who he is, sir, that I may put my faith in him. (REB)

Sir, if you will tell me who he is, I will put my faith in him. (CEV)

Sir: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Sir is a polite way of addressing a man. It can also be translated as “lord” or “Lord.” However, the man did not recognize Jesus as his Lord yet, so it is better to translate it as something like “sir.” See how you translated this word in 5:7a.

believe in Him: This expression has the same meaning as the expression “believe in the Son of Man” in 9:35b. See the note there and how you translated that expression.
