John 9:18
Compare all
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not1 keep the Sabbath.” Others said, a“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And bthere was a division among them.  
17 They said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?” He said, a“He is a prophet.”  
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 who had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does 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 sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22 His parents said these things because athey feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he bwould be put out of the synagogue.  
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, a“Give God the glory! bWe know that this Man is a sinner.”  
25 He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
28 Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God aspoke to bMoses; as for this fellow, cwe do not know where He is from.”  
30 The man answered and said to them, a“Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!  
31 Now we know that aGod does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.  
32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
