John 9:36

Jesus
Faith

34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man ?”

“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”

38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
