john 9:39 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.

john 9:39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

39-41. Jesus said--perhaps at the same time, but after a crowd, including some of the skeptical and scornful rulers, had, on seeing Jesus talking with the healed youth, hastened to the spot.
that they which see not might see, &c.--rising to that sight of which the natural vision communicated to the youth was but the symbol. (See on Joh 9:5, and compare Lu 4:18).
that they which see might be made blind--judicially incapable of apprehending and receiving the truth, to which they have wilfully shut their eyes.

john 9:39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
