John 9:22-38

22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

23On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.

24They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to 1God: we know that this man is sinful.

25He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.

26And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

27He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

28They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29We know that 2God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.

30The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

31[But] we know that 3God does not hear sinners; but if any one be 4God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

32Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

33If this [man] were not of 5God he would be able to do nothing.

34They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

35Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of 6God?

36He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

37And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

38And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
