To the Saviour's question, "Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" the blind man replied by asking, "Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?" And Jesus said, "Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee." The man cast himself at the Saviour's feet in worship. Not only had his natural sight been restored, but the eyes of his understanding had been opened. Christ had been revealed to his soul, and he received Him as the Sent of God.

På Frelserens spørgsmål: Tror du på Menneskesønnen? svarede den blinde med at spørge: Ja, hvem er han, Herre, for at jeg kan tro på ham? Og Jesus sagde: Du har set ham; den, som taler med dig, ham er det. Manden kastede sig ned for Frelserens fødder og tilbad ham. Ikke blot havde han fået sit legemlige syn som gave, men hans forståelses øjne var blevet åbnede. Kristus var blevet åbenbaret for hans sjæl, og han tog imod ham som den, der var sendt af Gud.
