John 9:13-34
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
13:
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
14:
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
15:
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
16:
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
17:
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
18:
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
19:
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
20:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
21:
22 These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
22:
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
23:
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
24:
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner [or no], I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
25:
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
26:
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his disciples?
27:
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
28:
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow], we know not from whence he is.
29:
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes.
30:
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
31:
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
32:
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
33:
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
34:
