Therefore there arose a controversy between John’s disciples and a Jew in regard to purification (ceremonial washing).

Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”

There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
