John 9:39-41

³⁹Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge the people in the world. The result will be that those who realize that they do not know God's truth will perceive it. That is like MET enabling those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who falsely think IRO that they understand God's truth will never understand it. That is like MET people who are blind remaining blind permanently.”

⁴⁰Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are like blind people, are you?”

⁴¹Jesus said to them, “If you realized that you did not yet know God's truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like blind people who wanted to see. God would be able to forgive your sins. But you are now falsely claiming that you know God's truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they can see. Because of that, God is not able to forgive your sins.”
