SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #377
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: "Dost thou believe in the Son of God?" He answered, and said: "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?" And Jesus said to him: "Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee." And he said: "I believe, Lord." And falling down, he adored him. And Jesus said: "For judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind." (John 9:35-39)
OUR LORD'S TESTIMONY TO HIS OWN DIVINITY: Jesus revealed Himself to the man born blind, as the Son of God: "He who is talking to thee is He--the Son of God." Moreover, when the man fell down before Him and worshipped Him as God, Jesus suffered him to do it. Jesus is, then, the true Son of God, to whom divine worship is due.
