3 [9:13]They brought to the Pharisees him that was formerly blind; [9:14]and it was on the sabbath when Jesus made the paste and opened his eyes. [9:15]Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he obtained sight. And he said to them, He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and see. [9:16]Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such miracles? And there was a division among them. [9:17]They said to the blind man again, What do you say of him, because he opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. 4 [9:18]Then the Jews did not believe of him that he had been blind and received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight. [9:19]And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see? [9:20]His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; [9:21]but how he now sees we know not, or who has opened his eyes we know not; ask him, he is of age, he will speak for himself. [9:22]His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for already the Jews had agreed that if any one confessed him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue; [9:23] therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him. 5 [9:24]Then they called the man who had been blind, a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. [9:25]Then he answered, Whether he is a sinner I know not; one thing I know, that having been blind, I now see. [9:26]Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes? [9:27]He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear again? Do you also wish to be his disciples? [9:28]They reproached him, and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. [9:29]We know that God spoke to Moses, but we know not whence this man is. [9:30]The man answered and said to them, It is a strange thing, that you know not whence he is, and he has opened my eyes. [9:31]We know that God hears not sinners; but if one is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears. [9:32]Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind; [9:33]unless this man was from God he would have been able to do nothing. [9:34]They answered and said to him, You were born entirely in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him without. 6 [9:35]Jesus heard that they had cast him without, and finding him he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God? [9:36]And he answered and said, Who is he, sir, that I shall believe on him? [9:37]Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and he that speaks to you is he. [9:38]And he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him. [9:39]And Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing become blind.
