When Jesus refers to someone as being "blind," he is saying that the person is in a position to know better than what he's doing and saying; in other words, that the person is being "blind." In the 60's there was a folk song that has the phrase, "There is none so blind as will not see." This kind of blindness is willful--it is a refusal to accept the truth for what it is, and tries to pretend that what is false is what is good. Those who are "blind" in this way usually have some ulterior reason for refusing to accept the truth. They refuse to say, "I see!" when the answer is explained to them. The Pharisees had their religious rules and regulations well established and they were comfortable with them. They did not want to change them or correct the errors that had grown up in the rules over the years.
Jesus said that the Pharisees, as teachers of God's law, were being false with God's intention. That made the Pharisees very angry, and they decided to kill Jesus to make him stop bothering their consciences (Mark 14:1). But Jesus would not back away from the truth, and so the Pharisees had to judge him to make him stop getting the people upset with the Pharisees' rule over the people.

What do how art thou mean in the bible?
This phrase, 'How art thou' occurs three times in the KJV Bible, and means in context: Isaiah 14.12 - How are you fallen from Heaven & how are you cut down to the ground! Ezekiel 26.17 - How are you destroyed! Obadiah 1.5 - How are you cut off! So the 'art thou' of the KJV Bible is simply subsituted for 'are you'. These three are not questions but rather statements of amazement at the extent of the fall, the destruction, and of the cutting off, respectively. Good question, and I hope you may get enlightenment at this statement of God.
