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. Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes? 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? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence He is. 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. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth. From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing. They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.
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. Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?

But he that looketh well into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
