John 9:32-39

³²Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone's giving sight to a person born blind.

³³If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.”

³⁴“You,” they retorted, “were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?” So they expelled him.

³⁵Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

³⁶“Tell me who he is, Sir,” he replied, “so that I may believe in him.”

³⁷“Not only have you seen him,” said Jesus; “but it is he who is now speaking to you.”

³⁸“Then, Sir, I do believe,” said the man, bowing to the ground before him;

³⁹and Jesus added, “It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.”
