9Others said, “This is he”; still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I'm the one!”
10So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11He answered and said: “A man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”
12Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don't know.”
13They bring the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.
14(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.)
15So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight.
19And they asked them saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20So his parents answered them and said: “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21but by what means he now sees we don't know, or who opened his eyes we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.
23That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him: “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”
26So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27He answered them: “I already told you and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become His disciples too, do you?”
28They reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
29We know that God spoke to Moses; but this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”
30The man answered and said to them: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!
31Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.
32Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33If this man were not from God he would not be able to do anything.”
34They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.
35Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into the Son of God?”
36He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?”
37So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”
