And when he saw him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled himself, foaming. And he asked his father: How long is it since this came upon him? He replied: From childhood. And often it throws him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if you are able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said to him: If you are able to believe, all things are possible to him that believes. And immediately the father of the child cried out, and with tears said: Lord, I believe; help my unbelief. When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to it: Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more. And the spirit cried out, and threw him into strong convulsions, and came out of him; and he was like one dead, so that many said: He is dead.

Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them? Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet. The Jews did not, therefore, believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight, and asked them, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see? His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself. His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him. Then, the second time, they called the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said: If he is a sinner, I know it not. One thing I do know, that having been blind, I now see. They said to him again: "What did he for you? How did he open your eyes? He answered them: I have already told you, and you did not understand; why would you hear it again? Do you also wish to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them: Why, there is some thing wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes. We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears. Since the beginning it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one who had been born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him: You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And having found him, he said to him: Do you believe on the Son of God? He answered and said: Who is he, sir, that I may believe on him? Jesus said to him: You have seen him; and it is he that talks with you. He said: Lord, I believe; and he worshiped him.
