Thou wast altogether born in sin (en amartiaiv su egennhqhv olov). First aorist passive indicative of gennaw. "In sins thou wast begotten (or born) all of thee." olov is predicate nominative and teaches total depravity in this case beyond controversy, the Pharisees being judges.
And dost thou teach us? (kai su didaskeiv hmas). The audacity of it all. Note emphasis on su (thou). It was insufferable. He had not only taught the rabbis, but had utterly routed them in argument.
And they cast him out (kai ecebalon auton ecw). Effective second aorist active indicative of ekballw intensified by the addition of ecw. Probably not yet expulsion from the synagogue (John 9:22) which required a formal meeting of the Sanhedrin, but certainly forcible driving of the gifted upstart from their presence. See John 6:37 for another use of ekballw ecw besides John 9:35.
