And he worshipped him.<br \/>\n[39] And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.<br \/>\n[40] And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?<br \/>\n[41] Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[18] But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
