John 9:13-34 - The Reaction Of The Pharisees To The Healing

¹³ They bring him to the Pharisees, him once blind. ¹⁴ And it was the sabbath, when Jesus made clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he saw again. He said to them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

¹⁶ Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man do such signs? And a division was among them.

¹⁷ They say to the blind again, What sayest thou of him, for he opened thine eyes? He said, That he is a prophet.

¹⁸ Then the Jews believed not of him that he was blind, and saw again, until they called the parents of him having looked up.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that be was born blind how then does be now see

²⁰ His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: ²¹ But how he now sees, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: he has age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. ²² These said his parents, for they feared the Jews: for already had the Jews agreed, that if any should acknowledge him Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. ²³ Therefore said his parents, That he has age; ask him.

²⁴ Then called they the man of a second time, who was blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

²⁵ He answered and said, If he be sinful, I know not: one thing I know, that, being blind, now I see.

²⁶ And again said they to him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I told you already, and ye heard not: why wish ye to hear again? ye wish not also to be his disciples?

²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this, we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, For in this is it wonderful, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes. ³¹ And we know that God hears not the sinful: but if any be godly, and do his will, this he hears. ³² From forever was it not heard that any opened the eyes of him born blind. ³³ If this one were not of God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said to him, In sins wert thou wholly born, and teachest thou us? And they cast him without.
