25. And so he said to them: "If he is a sinner, I do not know it. One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I see."
26. Then they said to him: "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27. He answered them: "I have already told you, and you heard it. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?"
28. Therefore, they cursed him and said: "You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.
29. We know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is from."
30. The man responded and said to them: "Now in this is a wonder: that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31. And we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, then he heeds him.
32. From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33. Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing."
34. They responded and said to him, "You were born entirely in sins, and you would teach us?" And they cast him out.
35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
36. He responded and said, "Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in him?"
37. And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you."
38. And he said, "I believe, Lord." And falling prostrate, he worshipped him.
39. And Jesus said, "I came into this world in judgment, so that those who do not see, may see; and so that those who see, may become blind."
40. And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41. Jesus said to them: "If you were blind, you would not have sin. Yet now you say, 'We see.' So your sin persists."
