And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
And Jesus said - perhaps at the same time, but after a crowd, including some of the sceptical and scornful rulers, had, on seeing Jesus talking with the healed youth, hastened to the spot.
For judgment I am come [or 'came I' eelthon (G2064 )] that they which see not might see - rising to that sight of which the natural vision communicated to the youth was but the symbol (see the note at John 9:5, and compare Luke 4:18).
And that they which see might be made blind - judicially incapable of apprehending and receiving the truth, to which they have willfully shut their eyes. See the note at Matthew 13:12.
