o the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, seeing
that he opened thine eyes? He said: He is a Prophet.

(18)The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he was
blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him that
received sight. (19)And they asked them, saying: Is this your son, who
ye say was born blind? How then does he now see? (20)His parents
answered them and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was
born blind. (21)But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who
opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age; ask him. He shall speak
for himself. (22)These words spoke his parents, because they feared
the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one
acknowledged him as Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
(23)Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him.

(24)They therefore called a second time the man that was blind, and
said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
(25)He answered therefore: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one
thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (26)They therefore
said to him: What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? (27)He
answered them: I told you already, and ye did not hear. Wherefore
would ye hear again? Will ye also become his disciples? (28)They
reviled him, and said: Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses'
disciples. (29)We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this man we
know not, whence he is. (30)The man answered and said to them: Why
herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and he
opened mine eyes. (31)Now we know that God hears not sinners. But if
any one is a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
(32)Since the world began, it was not heard that any one opened the
eyes of one born blind. (33)If this man were not from God, he could do
nothing. (34)They answered and said to him: Thou wast altogether born
in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

(35)Jesus heard that they cast him out; and finding him, he said to
him: Dost thou believe on the Son of God? (36)He answered and said:
Who then is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? (37)And Jesus said to
him: Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that talks with thee.
(38)And he said: Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

(39)And Jesus said: For judgment came I into this world; that they who
see not may see, and that they who see may become blind. (40)And some
of the Pharisees
