John 9:35

The Man’s Response to Jesus

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man
Grk “found him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Although most witnesses (A L Θ Ψ 070 0250 f1, 13 33 Maj. lat) have θεοῦ (qeou, “of God”) instead of ἀνθρώπου (anqrōpou, “of man”) here, the better witnesses (Ƥ66, 75 א B D W sys) have ἀνθρώπου. Not only is the external evidence decidedly on the side of ἀνθρώπου, but it is difficult to see such early and diverse witnesses changing θεοῦ to ἀνθρώπου. The wording “Son of Man” is thus virtually certain.
