18The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,
19and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
21but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”
22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess that Jesus was the Christ, they would be put out of the synagogue.
23For this reason, his parents said, “Ask him. He is of age.”
24So they called the man who had been blind a second time, and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25He answered, “Whether He is a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26Then they asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27He answered, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples, too, do you?”
28Then they became abusive towards him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.
29We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where He is from.”
30The man answered, “How amazing! You don’t know where He comes from, yet He opened my eyes.
31We know that God doesn’t hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.
32Since the beginning of time it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33If this man weren’t from God, He could do nothing.”
34To this they replied, “Who are you to teach us? You were born entirely in sin!” Then they threw him out.
35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36He answered, “Who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?”
