John 9:18-36

¹⁸The Jews therefore 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 ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

²⁰His parents answered 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 opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

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

²³Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

²⁸And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

³⁰The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.

³¹We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

³²Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

³³If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

³⁴They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
