John 9:24-34 So the man born blind was summoned a second time, and told, "Now give God the praise; this man, we know quite well, is only a sinner."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ So the man born blind was summoned a second time, and told, "Now give God the praise; this man, we know quite well, is only a sinner." ²⁵ To which he replied, "I do not know whether he is a sinner; one thing I do know, that once I was blind and now I can see." ²⁶ "What did he do to you?" they repeated; "How did he open your eyes?" ²⁷ He retorted, "I have told you that already, and you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it over again? Do you want to be disciples of his?" ²⁸ Then they stormed at him: "You are his disciple, we are disciples of Moses! ²⁹ We know God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from." ³⁰ The man replied to them, "Well, this is astonishing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes! ³¹ God, we know, does not listen to sinners; he listens to anyone who is devout and who obeys his will. ³² It is unheard of, since the world began, that anyone should open a blind man's eyes. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." ³⁴ They retorted, "And so you would teach us — you, born in utter depravity!" Then they expelled him.
