They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet (9:17) But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight (9:18) And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? (9:19) His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: (9:20) But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself (9:21) These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue (9:22) Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him (9:23) Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner (9:24) He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner [or no], I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see (9:25) Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? (9:26) He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his disciples? (9:27) Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples (9:28) We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow], we know not from whence he is (9:29) The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes (9:30) Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth (9:31) Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind (9:32) If this man were not of God, he could do nothing (9:33) They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out (9:34) Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? (9:35) He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? (9:36) And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee (9:37) And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him (9:38) And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind (9:39) And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? (9:40) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth
(9:41)
