23
That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
24
So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
25
He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
26
Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
27
His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
28
And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29
We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.
30
The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.
31
We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.
32
In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.
33
If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.
