John 9:13-34 - The Reaction Of The Pharisees To The Healing
13 So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees. 14 Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And 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 doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
18 And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21 but how it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can speak for himself. 22 These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, he is of age, ask him.
24 Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.
25 He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses: 29 but as for this man, we know not whence He is.
30 The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth. 32 From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. 33 And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.
34 They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
