20 His parents answered them and said, |We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.|
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.
23 For this reason his parents said, |He is of age; ask him.|
24 So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, |Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.|
25 He then answered, |Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.|
26 So they said to him, |What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?|
27 He answered 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 too, do you?|
28 They reviled him and said, |You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 |We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.|
30 The man answered and said to them, |Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and [yet] He opened my eyes.
31 |We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.
32 |Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33 |If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.|
34 They answered him, |You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?| So they put him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, |Do you believe in the Son of Man?|
36 He answered, |Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?|
37 Jesus said to him, |You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.|
38 And he said, |Lord, I believe.| And he worshiped Him.
39 And Jesus said, |For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.|
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, |We are not blind too, are we?|
41 Jesus said to them, |If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, We see,' your sin remains.
