John 9:18-41

[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 that had received his sight.

[19] And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth 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 seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

[22] These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

[23] Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

[24] Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

[25] He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

[26] Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

[27] He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

[28] Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

[29] We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

[30] The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

[31] Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

[32] Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

[33] If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

[34] They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

[35] Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

[36] He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

[37] And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

[38] And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

[39] And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

[40] And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

[41] Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
