John 9:22-38

22His parentsG1118 saidG3004 thisG3778 becauseG3754 they 1wereG5399 afraidG5399 of the 2JewsG2453; for the JewsG2453 3had alreadyG2235 reachedG4934 theG4934 decisionG4934 that ifG1437 anyoneG5100 confessedG3670 Him to be 4ChristG5547, 5he was to be excommunicatedG656 fromG656 theG656 synagogueG656. 23It was for thisG3778 reasonG1223 that his parentsG1118 saidG3004, “6He is of ageG2244; askG2065 him.”

24SoG3767 for a secondG1208 timeG1208 they summonedG5455 the manG444 whoG3739 had beenG1510 blindG5185, and saidG3004 to him, “7GiveG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316; we knowG3609 that 8thisG3778 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, “9I toldG3004 you alreadyG2235 and you did not 10listenG191; whyG5101 do you wantG2309 to hearG191 it againG3825? You do not wantG2309 to becomeG1096 His disciplesG3101 tooG2532, do you?” 28They spokeG3058 abusivelyG3058 to him and saidG3004, “You are His discipleG3101, but 11we are disciplesG3101 of MosesG3475. 29We knowG3609 that GodG2316 has spokenG2980 to MosesG3475, but as for thisG3778 ManG3778, 12we do not knowG3609 whereG4159 He is from.” 30The manG444 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “WellG1063, hereG1722 G3778 is the amazingG2298 thingG2298, that you do not knowG3609 whereG4159 He is from, and yet He openedG455 my eyesG3788! 31We knowG3609 that 13GodG2316 does not listenG191 to sinnersG268; but ifG1437 someoneG5100 is 14God-fearingG2318 and doesG4160 His willG2307, He listensG191 to him. 32 15SinceG1537 the beginningG165 ofG165 timeG165 it has neverG3756 been heardG191 that anyoneG5100 openedG455 the eyesG3788 of a personG5185 bornG1080 blindG5185. 33 16IfG1487 thisG3778 ManG3778 were not from GodG2316, He couldG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756 G3762.” 34They answeredG611 him, “17You were bornG1080 entirelyG3650 in sinsG266, and yet you are teachingG1321 us?” SoG2532 they 18 19putG1544 him outG1544.

35JesusG2424 heardG191 that they had 20 21putG1544 him outG1544, and upon findingG2147 him, He saidG3004, “Do you believeG4100 in the 22SonG5207 of ManG444?” 36He answeredG611 23by sayingG3004, “And 24whoG5101 is He, 25SirG2962, that I may believeG4100 in Him?” 37JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “You have bothG2532 seenG3708 Him, and 26He is the One who is talkingG2980 with you.” 38And he saidG5346, “I believeG4100, LordG2962.” And he 27worshipedG4352 Him.
