John:9:22-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews ,
for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ ,
he would be put out of the synagogue .
*
Therefore his parents said , "
He is of age ;
ask him ."
*
So they again called the man who was blind ,
and said to him , "
Give God the glory !
We know that this Man is a sinner ."
*
He answered and said , "
Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know .
One thing I know :
that though I was blind ,
now I see ."
*
Then they said to him again , "
What did He do to you ?
How did He open your eyes ?"
*
He answered them , "
I told you already ,
and you did not listen .
Why do you want to hear it again ?
Do you also want to become His disciples ?"
*
Then they reviled him and said , "
You are His disciple ,
but we are Moses '
disciples .
*
We know that God spoke to Moses ;
as for this fellow ,
we do not know where He is from ."
*
The man answered and said to them , "
Why ,
this is a marvelous thing ,
that you do not know where He is from ;
yet He has opened my eyes !
*
Now we know that God does not hear sinners ;
but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will ,
He hears him .
*
Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind .
*
If this Man were not from God ,
He could do nothing ."
*
They answered and said to him , "
You were completely born in sins ,
and are you teaching us ?"
And they cast him out .
