John 9:24–34

²⁴So once again the Jews called the man who had been blind. They told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man who gave you sight is a sinner.” 

²⁵The man responded, “I don’t know if he’s a sinner or not. But I do know one thing. I used to be blind, but now I can see.” 

²⁶The Jews asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he give you sight?” 

²⁷The man replied, “I’ve already told you, but you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear the story again? Do you want to become his disciples too?” 

²⁸The Jews yelled at him, “You’re his disciple, but we’re Moses’ disciples. ²⁹We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don’t know where this man came from.” 

³⁰The man replied to them, “That’s amazing! You don’t know where he’s from. Yet, he gave me sight. ³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners. Instead, he listens to people who are devout and who do what he wants. ³²Since the beginning of time, no one has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a person born blind. ³³If this man were not from God, he couldn’t do anything like that.” 

³⁴The Jews answered him, “You were born full of sin. Do you think you can teach us?” Then they threw him out ⸤of the synagogue⸥.
