These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.
For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.
