John 9:17-30

¹⁷They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.

¹⁸The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

¹⁹And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

²⁰His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

²¹But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.

²²These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.

²⁴They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?

²⁷He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?

²⁸They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

²⁹We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.

³⁰The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.
