9Some said, “ Yes, he is.” Others said, “No, he is not. It is just a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
10So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
11He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam pool and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
12They said to him, “Where is that man now?” He said, “I do not know.”
13They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
14The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest►. The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work ◄ on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►.
15So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
16So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man Jesus disobeys our rules about working ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►, he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, ◄he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?► RHQ” So they were divided.
17So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “ I think he is a prophet!” So they told him to go.
18The Jewish leaders SYN still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was now able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man's parents.
19When they got there, one of the Jewish leaders asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? If that is true, how is he now able to see?”
20His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
21But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough to answer questions from authorities like you He can tell you himself!”
22The Jewish leaders SYN had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from entering their synagogues. His parents knew that, so they were afraid of the Jewish leaders SYN.
23That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough to answer questions, so ask him!”
24So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. When he got there, the Jewish leaders said to him, “Knowing that God is listening IDM, tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
25He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
26So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
27He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not RHQ pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? ◄Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though IRO you also want to become his disciples RHQ►.”
28Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples!
29We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he gets any authority from!”
30The man replied, “That is very surprising! You say that you do not know where he gets any authority. But he enabled me to see!
31We know that God does not help sinners who ask God to help them. Instead, he listens to and helps godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
32No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born like I was. That has never happened since the world began!
33So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything like that!”
34They replied to him, “You ◄were born as a result of your parents' sin EUP/bastard►! ◄Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!► RHQ” Then they threw him out of the synagogue.
35Jesus heard people say that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven is the Messiah?”
36The man answered, “Sir, who is he? Tell me, in order that I may believe in him.”
37Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. In fact, it is I, the one who am speaking to you.”
