John 9:17-30

¹⁷Therefore they said again to the blind man, What sayest thou of him, that opened thine eyes? And he said, That he is a prophet.

¹⁸Therefore the Jews believed not of him, that he was blind, and had seen, till they called his father and mother, that had seen.

¹⁹And they asked them, and said, Is this your son, which ye say was born blind? how then seeth he now?

²⁰His father and mother answered to them, and said, We know, that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²¹but how he seeth now, we know not, or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask ye him, he hath age, speak he of himself, (or you ask him, he is old enough, yea, let him speak for himself).

²²His father and mother said these things, for they dreaded the Jews; for then the Jews had conspired, that if any man acknowledged him (as) Christ, he should be done out of the synagogue. (His father and mother said these things, for they feared the Jews; for then the Jews had conspired together, that if anyone acknowledged him as the Messiah, they would be put out of the synagogue.)

²³Therefore his father and mother said, That he hath age, ask ye him. (And so his father and mother said, He is old enough, you ask him.)

²⁴Therefore again they called the man, that was blind, and said to him, Give thou glory to God; we know, that this man is a sinner.

²⁵Then he said, If he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that when I was blind, now I see. (Then he said, If he is a sinner, I do not know; but the one thing I do know, is that before I was blind, and now I can see.)

²⁶Therefore they said to him, What did he (do) to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷He answered to them, I said to you now, and ye heard (me); what will ye again hear (it)? whether ye will be made his disciples? (He answered to them, I told you before, and ye heard me; why will ye hear it again? will ye also be made his disciples?)

²⁸Therefore they cursed him, and said, Be thou (made) his disciple; we be the disciples of Moses.

²⁹We know, that God spake to Moses; but we know not this (man), of whence he is.

³⁰That man answered, and said to them, For in this is a wonderful thing, that ye know not, of whence he is, and he hath opened mine eyes.
