John 9:22-40

²²Suche wordes spake his father and mother because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all redy that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ he shuld be excommunicat out of the synagoge.

²³Therfore sayde his father and mother: he is olde ynough axe him.

²⁴Then agayne called they the man that was blynde and sayd vnto him: Geve God the prayse: we knowe that this man is a synner.

²⁵He answered and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or noo I cannot tell: One thinge I am sure of that I was blynde and now I se.

²⁶Then sayde they to him agayne. What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes?

²⁷He answered them I tolde you yerwhyle and the dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples?

²⁸Then rated they him and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples.

²⁹We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is.

³⁰The man answered and sayde vnto them: this is a merveleous thinge that ye wote not whence he is seinge he hath opened myne eyes.

³¹For we be sure that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God and do his will him heareth he.

³²Sence the worlde beganne was it not hearde that eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd.

³³If this man were not of God he coulde have done no thinge.

³⁴They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: and dost thou teache vs? And they cast him out.

³⁵Iesus hearde that they had excommunicate him: and assone as he had founde him he sayd vnto him: doest thou beleve on the sonne of God?

³⁶He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde that I myght beleve on him?

³⁷And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him and he it is that talketh with the.

³⁸And he sayde: Lorde I beleve: and worshipped him.

³⁹Iesus sayde: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not myght se and they which se myght be made blynde.

⁴⁰And some of the pharises which were with him hearde these wordes and sayde vnto him: are we then blynde?
