John 9:35-41 - Jesus As The Son Of Man

³⁵ Jesus 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;

³⁹ And Jesus added: "It was to put men 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."

⁴⁰ Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said: "Then are we blind too?"

⁴¹ "If you had been blind," replied Jesus, "you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say 'We can see,' and so your sin remains.
