Old/New Testament
They Don’t Want To Believe Jesus Did It, So They Question The Man Again
24 Then they called for a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner”. 25 So that one responded, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. I know one thing— that being a blind one, 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 also do not want to become His disciples, do you?” 28 And they reviled him and said, “You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But we do not know where this One is from”. 30 The man responded and said to them, “Why, in this is[a] the marvel[b]— that you do not know where He is from, and He opened my eyes! 31 We know that God does not hear[c] sinners. But if anyone is a God-fearing one, and is doing His will— He hears this one. 32 It was not ever heard that someone opened the eyes of one having been born blind. 33 If this One were not from God, He would be able to do nothing”. 34 They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they threw him outside[d].
Jesus Tells The Man, I Came So The Blind May See And The Seeing May Become Blind
35 Jesus heard that they threw him outside, and having found him, said “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 That one responded and said, “Who indeed is He, Sir, in order that I may believe in Him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and that One is the One speaking with you”. 38 And the one said, “Master, I believe”, and prostrated-himself [e] before Him. 39 And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment— so that the ones not seeing[f] may be seeing, and the ones seeing may become blind”.
You Pharisees Are Thieves, Not Shepherds, So God’s Sheep Do Not Follow You
40 Some of the Pharisees heard these things— the ones being with him— and said to Him, “We indeed are not blind ones, are we?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind[g] ones, you would not have[h] sin. But you are saying now that ‘We see’— your sin remains.
