Where is he? He saith: I know not.
9:13. They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.
9:14. Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his
eyes.
9:15. Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his
sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and
I see.
9:16. Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who
keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner
do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
9:17. They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him
that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
9:18. The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been
blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him
that had received his sight,
9:19. And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born
blind? How then doth he now see?
9:20. His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son

to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
9:25. He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One
thing I know, that whereas I was blind now I see.
9:26. They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy
eyes?
9:27. He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why
would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples?
9:28. They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we
are the disciples of Moses.
9:29. We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not
from whence he is.
9:30. The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful
thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.
9:31. Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a
