²⁴So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!” ²⁵Then that man replied, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know—that although I^* was blind, now I see!” ²⁶So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” ²⁷He replied to them, “I told you already and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it^* again? You do not want to become his disciples also, do you?”^* ²⁸They reviled^f him and said, “You are his disciple! But we are disciples of Moses! ²⁹We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.” ³⁰The man answered and said to them, “For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes! ³¹We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one. ³²From time immemorial^g it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!” ³⁴They answered and said to him, “You were born completely in sin, and are you attempting to teach^* us?” And they threw him out.
