So his brothers left to go to the festival. After they left, Jesus went too, 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 from teaching. Maybe the leaders have decided that he really is the Messiah.

You don't see any of the leaders or any of us Pharisees believing in him, do you?

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

Your father Abraham was very happy that he would see the day when I came. He saw that day and was happy."

Jesus told him, "Go and wash in Siloam pool." (Siloam means "Sent.") So the man went to the pool, washed and came back. He was now able to see.

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

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

They asked them, "Is this your son? You say he was born blind. So how can he see?"

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

The man answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. But I do know this: I was blind, and now I can see."

Jesus said, "I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that people who are blind could see. And I came so that people who think they see would become blind."

Jesus said, "If you were really blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But you say that you see, so you are still guilty."

Jesus answered, "There are twelve hours of light in the day. Whoever walks in the day will not stumble and fall because they can see with the light from the sun.

Many Jews had come to see Martha and Mary. They came to comfort them about their brother Lazarus.

He asked, "Where did you put him?" They said, "Lord, come and see."

Then Jesus said to her, "Remember what I told you? I said that if you believed, you would see God's divine greatness."

Many of the Jews heard that Jesus was in Bethany, so they went there to see him. They also went there to see Lazarus, the one Jesus raised from death.

"God made the people blind. He closed their minds. He did this so that they would not see with their eyes and understand with their minds. He did it so that they would not turn and be healed."

The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The people of the world cannot accept him, because they don't see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.
