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.
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.
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.
19 And they asked them,
saying, Is this your son, who
ye say was born blind? How
then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them
and said, We know that this is
our son, and that he was born
blind:
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.
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.
23 Therefore said his parents,
He is of age; ask him.
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.
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.
26 Then said they to him
again, What did he to thee?
how opened he thine eyes?
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?
28 Then they reviled him, and
said, Thou art his disciple,
but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto
Moses; _as for_ this _fellow_,
we know not from whence he is.
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.
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.
32 Since the world began was
it not heard that any man
opened the eyes of one that
was born blind.
33 If this man were not of
God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto
him, Thou wast altogether born
in sins, and dost thou teach
us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had
cast him out: and when he had
found him, he said unto him,
Dost thou believe on the Son
of God?
36 He answered and said, Who
is he, Lord, that I might
believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him,
Thou hast both seen him, and
it is he that talketh with
thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I
believe. And he worshipped
him.
39 And Jesus said, For
judgment I am come into this
world; that they which see not
might see; and that they which
see might be made blind.
40 And _some_ of the Pharisees
which were with him heard
these words, and said unto
him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye
were blind, ye should have no
sin: but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth.

Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that entereth not by
the door into the sheepfold,
