26“What did he do to you?” they asked. “How did he give you your sight?”
27“I told you just now,” he answered, “and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?”
28“You are his disciple,” they retorted scornfully; “but we are disciples of Moses.
29We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”
30“Well,” the man replied, “this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!
31We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God's will, God listens to them.
32Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone's giving sight to a person born blind.
33If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.”
34“You,” they retorted, “were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?” So they expelled him.
35Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36“Tell me who he is, Sir,” he replied, “so that I may believe in him.”
37“Not only have you seen him,” said Jesus; “but it is he who is now speaking to you.”
38“Then, Sir, I do believe,” said the man, bowing to the ground before him;
39and Jesus added, “It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.”
