John 9:20-27

20His parentsG1118 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “We knowG3609 that thisG3778 is our sonG5207, and that he was bornG1080 blindG5185; 21but howG4459 he nowG3568 seesG991, we do not knowG3609; orG2228 whoG5101 openedG455 his eyesG3788, we do not knowG3609. AskG2065 him; he is of ageG2244, he will speakG2980 for himselfG1438.” 22His parentsG1118 saidG3004 thisG3778 becauseG3754 they 1were afraidG5399 of the JewsG2453; for the JewsG2453 2had alreadyG2235 agreedG4934 that ifG1437 anyoneG5100 confessedG3670 Him to be 3ChristG5547, 4he was to be putG656 out of the synagogueG656. 23For thisG3778 reasonG1223 his parentsG1118 saidG3004, “5He is of ageG2244; askG2065 him.”

24SoG3767 a secondG1208 timeG1208 they calledG5455 the manG444 whoG3739 had beenG1510 blindG5185, and saidG3004 to him, “6GiveG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316; we knowG3609 that 7thisG3778 manG444 is a sinnerG268.” 25He thenG3767 answeredG611, “WhetherG1487 He is a sinnerG268, I do not knowG3609; oneG1520 thingG1520 I do knowG3609, that though I was blindG5185, nowG737 I seeG991.” 26SoG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “WhatG5101 did He doG4160 to you? HowG4459 did He openG455 your eyesG3788?” 27He answeredG611 them, “8I toldG3004 you alreadyG2235 and you did not 9listenG191; whyG5101 do you wantG2309 to hearG191 it againG3825? You do not wantG2309 to becomeG1096 His disciplesG3101 tooG2532, do you?”
