²⁴Again they called the man who had been blind to come to them. “Give glory to God by telling the truth!” they said. “We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”

²⁵He replied, “I don’t know if he is a sinner or not. I do know one thing. I was blind, but now I can see!”

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

²⁷He answered, “I have already told you. But you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”

²⁸Then they began to attack him with their words. “You are this fellow’s disciple!” they said. “We are disciples of Moses! ²⁹We know that God spoke to Moses. But we don’t even know where this fellow comes from.”

³⁰The man answered, “That is really surprising! You don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. ³¹We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to godly people who do what he wants them to do. ³²Nobody has ever heard of anyone opening the eyes of a person born blind. ³³If this man had not come from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴Then the Pharisees replied, “When you were born, you were already deep in sin. How dare you talk like that to us!” And they threw him out of the synagogue.
