John 9:41

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "I welcome everyone's exposition or understanding of this verse. What does Jesus mean by saying sin remains if you are not blind?"

 

"Summation[:] Jesus and the Blind Man (Jn 9:35–41): The Savior says he has come into this world for two reasons.
A. That the blind might see (9:39a): Spiritual sight will be given to all those who sincerely ask.
1. The witness by Jesus (9:35–37): He informs the former blind man he is indeed the Messiah!

2. The worship of Jesus (9:38) : The man worships the Savior.
B. That those who think they can see might be blinded (9:39b–41): Overhearing this, the Pharisees rightly conclude that Jesus is referring to them!" Willmington, H. L. (1999). The Outline Bible (Jn 9:34–41). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

I once was blind. Now ICEE.

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "It means that the Pharisees did not acknowledge Yahshua as the Messiah to come, and that they were spiritually blind."

 

Spiritual blindness is due to man's disobedience (Deut. 28:28, 29) and unbelief (Acts 9:8, 9).

Here [Mk 8:22-26] Jesus cured the eyes, then the brain to understand so that the man could understand what he was seeing
