The Reaction Of The Pharisees To The Healing

You do not know where he came from and yet he restored my sight! [Note: The next sentence may be the beggar stating the Pharisees' argument. See verse 24]. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners [i.e., when they pray]; but God does listen to the person who reveres Him and does what He wants.
