New International Reader's Version

John 9:31-39 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

31. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to godly people who do what he wants them to do.

32. Nobody has ever heard of anyone opening the eyes of a person born blind.

33. If this man had not come from God, he could do nothing."

34. Then the Pharisees replied, "When you were born, you were already deep in sin. How dare you talk like that to us!" And they threw him out of the synagogue.

35. Jesus heard that the Pharisees had thrown the man out. When he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

36. "Who is he, sir?" the man asked. "Tell me, so I can believe in him."

37. Jesus said, "You have now seen him. In fact, he is the one speaking with you."

38. Then the man said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped him.

39. Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge it. I have come so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind."
