Putting Jn. 9:41 in its context, starting from verse 39. "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see;"
( IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIDING ANYTHING IN SYMBOLIC FORM.)
-and that they which see might be made blind.
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but ""NOW YE SAY, WE SEE;"" therefore your sin remaineth.
The Lord is pitting himself against the righteousness they trusted in, ( The law of Moses.)
John the baptist said "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" Israel was a degenerate vine. Jesus says in John 10 I AM the true vine. The blindness is all apart of Gods redemption plan. Here's the conclusion. Romans 11:30-32 (KJV) For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. Jesus came to open eyes for those who trust in him.
