Oh, Lord, I believe.įor judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see and that they which see might be made blind. Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? Thou has both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. Thou wast altogether born in sin, and dost thou teach us? If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
