27. He answered, I already told you and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Can it be that you wish to become His disciples also?
28. And they stormed at him [they jeered, they sneered, they reviled him] and retorted, You are His disciple yourself, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29. We know for certain that God spoke with Moses, but as for this Fellow, we know nothing about where He hails from.
30. The man replied, Well, this is astonishing! Here a Man has opened my eyes, and yet you do not know where He comes from. [That is amazing!]
31. We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and a worshiper of Him and does His will, He listens to him.
32. Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.
33. If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything like this.
34. They retorted, You were wholly born in sin [from head to foot]; and do you [presume to] teach us? So they cast him out [threw him clear outside the synagogue].
35. Jesus heard that they had put him out, and meeting him He said, Do you believe in and adhere to the Son of Man or the Son of God ?
36. He answered, Who is He, Sir? Tell me, that I may believe in and adhere to Him.
37. Jesus said to him, You have seen Him; [in fact] He is talking to you right now.
38. He called out, Lord, I believe! [I rely on, I trust, I cleave to You!] And he worshiped Him.
39. Then Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment [as a Separator, in order that there may be separation between those who believe on Me and those who reject Me], to make the sightless see and to make those who see become blind.
