Jesus then made a peculiar statement:
" 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.

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

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye
should have no sin: but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth."
John 9:39-41
