"Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did. Do you think he might be the Christ?"

So the people left the town and went to see Jesus.

Jesus said to him, "You people must see signs and miracles before you will believe in me."

Later, Jesus found the man at the Temple and said to him, "See, you are well now. Stop sinning so that something worse does not happen to you."

So the people asked, "What miracle will you do? If we see a miracle, we will believe you. What will you do?

Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is what my Father wants."

Then will it also bother you to see the Son of Man going back to the place where he came from?

So Jesus' brothers said to him, "You should leave here and go to Judea so your followers there can see the miracles you do.

But after Jesus' brothers had gone to the feast, Jesus went also. But he did not let people see him.

But he is teaching where everyone can see and hear him, and no one is trying to stop him. Maybe the leaders have decided he really is the Christ.

Nicodemus, who had gone to see Jesus before, was in that group. He said,

Your father Abraham was very happy that he would see my day. He saw that day and was glad."

He answered, "The man named Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."

So now the Pharisees asked the man, "How did you get your sight?" He answered, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and now I see."

These leaders did not believe that he had been blind and could now see again. So they sent for the man's parents

and asked them, "Is this your son who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

But we don't know how he can now see. We don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself."

He answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see."

They asked, "What did he do to you? How did he make you see again?"

Jesus said, "I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that the blind would see and so that those who see will become blind."
