¹³ Then brought they to the Pharisees, him that a little before was blind. ¹⁴ For it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, "He put clay upon mine eyes; And I washed, and do see."

¹⁶ Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day." Others said, "How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?" And there was strife among them.

¹⁷ Then spake they unto the blind again, "What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."

¹⁸ But the Jews did not believe of the fellow, how that he was blind, and received his sight: until they had called the father and mother of him that had received his sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them saying, "Is this your son, whom ye say was born blind? How doth he now see then?"

²⁰ His father and mother answered them and said, "We know well that this is our son, and that he was born blind. ²¹ But by what means he now seeth, that can we not tell: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell. He is old enough, ask him, let him answer for himself, of things that pertain to himself." ²² Such words spake his father, and mother, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had conspired already that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be excommunicated out of the Synagogue. ²³ Therefore said his father and mother, "He is old enough, ask him."

²⁴ Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner."

²⁵ He answered and said, "Whether he be a sinner or no, I cannot tell. One thing I am sure of: that I was blind, and now I see."

²⁶ Then said they to him again, "What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?"

²⁷ He answered them, "I told you right now! A And ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be his disciples?"

²⁸ Then rated they him, and said, "Thou art his disciple. We be Moses' disciples. ²⁹ We are sure that God spake with Moses. This fellow we know not from whence he is."

³⁰ The man answered, and said unto them, "This is a marvelous thing that ye know not whence he is, seeing he opened mine eyes. ³¹ For we be sure that God heareth not sinners: But if any man be a worshipper of God, and do what his will is, him heareth he. ³² Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. ³³ If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing."

³⁴ They answered, and said unto him, "Thou art altogether born in sin: and dost thou teach us?" And they cast him out.
