37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and ^ait is He who is talking with you.”

38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he ^aworshiped Him.

39 And Jesus said, ^a“For judgment I have come into this world, ^bthat those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”

40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, ^aand said to Him, “Are we blind also?”
