John 9:27-40

²⁷His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

²⁸And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

³⁰The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

³¹We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

³²In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

³³If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

³⁴Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

³⁵It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

³⁶He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

³⁷Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

³⁸And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

³⁹And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

⁴⁰These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
