John 9:40

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?" And they cast him out.

The Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?

Then the disciples came and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.

But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."
