He, therefore, answered, "Whether He is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, though I was blind, now I see." They said, therefore, to him, "What did He do to you? how did He open your eyes?" He answered them, "I told you already, and ye did not hear; why do ye wish to hear it again? Do ye also wish to become His disciples?"

We know that God heareth not sinners; but, if any one is a worshiper of God, and does His will, him He heareth. From remotest antiquity, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind! If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing."

Jesus heard that they cast him out; and, finding him, He said, "Do you believe on the Son of God?" And He answered, and said, "And Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?" Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and it is He Who is talking with you." And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him.
