John:9:13-34
isv@John:9:13 @ So they brought to the Pharisees the man who had once been blind.
isv@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
isv@John:9:15 @ So the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see.”
isv@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees began to remark, “This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath.”But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.
isv@John:9:17 @ So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, for it was your eyes he opened?”He said, “He is a prophet.”
isv@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had been given sight until they summoned his parents
isv@John:9:19 @ and asked them, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How does he now see?”
isv@John:9:20 @ His parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
isv@John:9:21 @ But we don't know how it is that he now sees, and we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age and can speak for himself.”
isv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ would be thrown out of the synagogue.
isv@John:9:23 @ That's why his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
isv@John:9:24 @ So for a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
isv@John:9:25 @ But he responded, “I don't know whether he is a sinner or not. The one thing I do know is that I used to be blind and now I can see!”
isv@John:9:26 @ Then they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
isv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, “I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?”
isv@John:9:28 @ At this, they turned on him furiously and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!
isv@John:9:29 @ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from.”
isv@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, “This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
isv@John:9:31 @ We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.
isv@John:9:32 @ Never since creation has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man who was born blind.
isv@John:9:33 @ If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that.”
isv@John:9:34 @ They said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are trying to instruct us?” And they threw him out.
