He answered, "Whether he's a sinner or not I don't know. One thing I do know: I was blind, now I see."
26
So they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27
"I already told you," he answered, "and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Maybe you too want to become his talmidim?"
28
Then they railed at him. "You may be his talmid," they said, "but we are talmidim of Moshe!
29
We know that God has spoken to Moshe, but as for this fellow -- we don't know where he's from!"
30
"What a strange thing," the man answered, "that you don't know where he's from -- considering that he opened my eyes!
31
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone fears God and does his will, God does listen to him.
32
In all history no one has ever heard of someone's opening the eyes of a man born blind.
33
If this man were not from God, he couldn't do a thing!"

"Why, you mamzer!" they retorted, "Are you lecturing us?" And they threw him out.
35
Yeshua heard that they had thrown the man out. He found him and said, "Do you trust in the Son of Man?"
