John 9:18-38
-
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until 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 and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
-
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
-
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
-
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; 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 know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, 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 have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
-
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
-
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
-
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from 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 worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
-
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 do nothing.
-
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
-
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
-
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
-
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
-
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
