John 9:26-41

Goodspeed(i) 26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he make you able to see?" 27 He answered, "I have already told you and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become disciples of his too?" 28 Then they sneered at him, and said, "You are a disciple of his yourself, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man came from." 30 The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see! 31 We know that God does not listen to sinful people, but if a man is devout and obeys God, God will listen to him. 32 It was never heard of in this world that anyone made a man born blind able to see. 33 If this man were not from God, he could not do anything." 34 They answered, "You were born in utter sin, and are you trying to teach us?" So they excluded him from the synagogue. 35 Jesus learned that they had excluded him, and he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" 36 The man answered, "Who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him." 37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him already, and it is he who is now talking to you." 38 And he said, "I believe, sir!" and he fell on his knees before him. 39 And Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge men, that those who cannot see may see, and that those who can see may become blind." 40 Some Pharisees who were present heard this, and they said to him, "Then are we blind too?" 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would be guilty of no sin, but as it is, you say 'We can see'; so your sin continues.
