³⁰The man answered, “That's incredible! You don't know where he comes from but he opened my eyes.

³²Never before in the whole of history has anyone heard of a man born blind being healed.

³³If this man weren't from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴“You were born totally sinful, and yet you're trying to lecture us,” they replied. And they threw him out of the synagogue.

³⁵When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he went and found the man, and asked him, “Do you trust in the Son of man?”
