and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.'
So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
009:012 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
009:013 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
009:014 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
009:015 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received
his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed,
and I see."
009:016 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is
not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath."
Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?"
There was division among them.
009:017 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you
say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said,
"He is a prophet."
009:018 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had
been blind, and had received his sight, until they called
the parents of him who had received his sight,
009:019 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind?
How then does he now see?"
009:020 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son,
and that he was born blind;
009:021 but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened
his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him.
He will speak for himself."
009:022 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews;
for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess
him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
009:023 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
009:024 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him,
"Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
009:025 He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner.
One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
009:026 They said to him again, "What did he do to you?
How did he open your eyes?"
009:027 He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen.
Why do you want to hear it again? You don't also want
to become his disciples, do you?"
009:028 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we
are disciples of Moses.
009:029 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man,
we don't know where he comes from."
009:030 The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where
he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
009:031 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone
is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens
to him.{Psalm 66:18, Proverbs 15:29; 28:9}
009:032 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone
opened the eyes of someone born blind.
009:033 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
009:034 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins,
