ggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? [9:9]Some said,
This is he; others said, No, but he is like him; he said, I am he.
[9:10]Then they said to him, How then were your eyes opened? [9:11]He
answered, A man called Jesus made paste and anointed my eyes, and said
to me, Go to the Siloam and wash; then I went and washed, and obtained
sight. [9:12]They said to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
3 [9:13]They brought to the Pharisees him that was formerly blind;
[9:14]and it was on the sabbath when Jesus made the paste and opened
his eyes. [9:15]Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he obtained
sight. And he said to them, He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed,
and see. [9:16]Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God,
for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man
perform such miracles? And there was a division among them. [9:17]They
said to the blind man again, What do you say of him, because he opened
your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
4 [9:18]Then the Jews did not believe of him that he had been blind and
received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had
received his sight. [9:19]And they asked them, saying, Is this your

for himself. [9:22]His parents said these things because they feared
the Jews; for already the Jews had agreed that if any one confessed him
to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue; [9:23] therefore
his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
5 [9:24]Then they called the man who had been blind, a second time, and
said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
[9:25]Then he answered, Whether he is a sinner I know not; one thing I
know, that having been blind, I now see. [9:26]Then they said to him,
What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes? [9:27]He answered
them, I have told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to
hear again? Do you also wish to be his disciples? [9:28]They reproached
him, and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
[9:29]We know that God spoke to Moses, but we know not whence this man
