Leave them! They are blind guides. ¹  If someone who is blind leads another who is blind, ²  both will fall into a pit.”

My servant is truly blind, my messenger is truly deaf. My covenant partner, ¹  the servant of the Lord, is truly blind. ² 

He also told them a parable: “Someone who is blind cannot lead another who is blind, can he? ¹  Won’t they both fall ²  into a pit?

I was eyes for the blind and feet for the lame;

Then blind eyes will open, deaf ears will hear.

“Listen, you deaf ones! Take notice, ¹  you blind ones!

Now as Jesus was passing by, ¹  he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

Blind guides! You strain out a gnat yet swallow a camel! ¹ 

Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, those who are deaf, even though they have ears!

They brought the man who used to be blind ¹  to the Pharisees. ² 

‘Cursed is the one who misleads a blind person on the road.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, ¹  “Have mercy ²  on us, Son of David!” ³ 

The blind and lame came to him in the temple courts, and he healed them.

As ¹  Jesus ²  approached ³  Jericho, ⁴  a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

So his parents replied, ¹  “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

Never before ¹  has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see. ² 

Some of the Pharisees ¹  who were with him heard this ²  and asked him, ³  “We are not blind too, are we?” ⁴ 

You will be shocked and amazed! ¹  You are totally blind! ²  They are drunk, ³  but not because of wine; they stagger, ⁴  but not because of beer.

Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Jesus ¹  healed him so that he could speak and see. ² 

Blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
