John 9:24-33

24So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “1Give glory to God; we know that 2this man is a sinner.”

25He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

26So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27He answered them, “3I told you already and you did not 4listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”

28They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but 5we are disciples of Moses.

29We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, 6we do not know where He is from.”

30The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

31We know that 7God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

32 8Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

33 9If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.”
