Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them. Then they again say to the blind man, What do you say concerning Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said that, He is a prophet. Then the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind, and looked up, until they called the parents of him that looked up, and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see? Then his parents responded and said; We know that he is our son, and that he was born blind: but how he now sees, we know not; nor who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he has majority; he will speak for himself. And his parents said these things, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already stipulated, that if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said that, He has majority, ask him. Then they asked the man the second time who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory: we know that this man is a sinner. Then he responded, If He is a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that being blind I now see. Then they said to him, What did He to you? how did He open your eyes? He responded to them, I told you already, and you did not hearken: why do you wish to hear again? whether do you wish to become His disciples? They railed on him, and said, You are His disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spoke to Moses: but we do not know this One, whence He is. The man responded and said to them; For in this it is wonderful, that you do not know whence He is, He truly opened my eyes. We know that God hears not sinners: but if any one may be a worshiper of God, and do His will, He hears him. It was never heard of from the beginning that any one opened the eyes of a man who was born blind: if He were not with God, He would not be able to do anything. They responded and said to him, Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they cast him out; and having found him, said, Do you believe on the Son of man? He responded and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on, Him? Jesus said to him, Indeed you have seen Him, and the One speaking with you is He. And He said, I believe, Lord: and he worshiped Him.
