Therefore, they called a second time for the man who had been born blind and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know this man is a sinner."
25
The man answered, "I don't know whether he's a sinner. Here's what I do know: I was blind and now I see."
26
They questioned him: "What did he do to you? How did he heal your eyes?"
27
He replied, "I already told you, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?"
28
They insulted him: "You are his disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
29
We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don't know where this man is from."
30
The man answered, "This is incredible! You don't know where he is from, yet he healed my eyes!
31
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners. God listens to anyone who is devout and does God's will.
32
No one has ever heard of a healing of the eyes of someone born blind.
33
If this man wasn't from God, he couldn't do this."
34
They responded, "You were born completely in sin! How is it that you dare to teach us?" Then they expelled him.
