25. He replied, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing – that although I was blind, now I can see.”
26. Then they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?”
27. He answered, “I told you already and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”
28. They heaped insults on him, saying, “You are his disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
29. We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man comes from!”
30. The man replied, “This is a remarkable thing, that you don’t know where he comes from, and yet he caused me to see!
31. We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.
32. Never before has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.
33. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34. They replied, “You were born completely in sinfulness, and yet you presume to teach us?” So they threw him out.
35. Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
