John 9:24–34

²⁴So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory ^sto God. ^tuWe know that this man is a sinner!”

²⁵He answered, “Whether or not He’s a sinner, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see!”

²⁶Then they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

²⁷“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

²⁸They ridiculed him: “You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’ ^vdisciples. ²⁹We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man—we don’t know where He’s from!” ^w

³⁰“This is an amazing thing,” the man told them. “You don’t know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes! ³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, ^xbut if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, ^yHe listens to him. ^z32Throughout history ^ano one has ever heard of someone opening the eyes of a person born blind. ^b33If this man were not from God, He wouldn’t be able to do anything.” ^c

³⁴“You were born entirely in sin,” ^dthey replied, “and are you trying to teach us?” Then they threw him out. ^ef
