his parents, He is of age; ask him.
(24)The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind,
and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a
sinner. (25)Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I
know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
(26)Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he
thine eves? (27)He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did
not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his
disciples? (28)Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple,
but we are the disciples of Moses. (29)We know that God spake to Moses:
but we know nothing of this man, whence he is. (30)The man replied, and
said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know
not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes. (31)Now we know that
God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper,
and doeth his will, him he heareth. (32)From the creation of the world
hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born
blind. (33)If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.
(34)They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and
dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. (35)Jesus heard that they
had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the

believe on him? (37)Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and
he that is now talking with thee is the very person. (38)Then he said,
Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.
(39)And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they
who see not may see; and they who see become blind. (40)And some of the
Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we
blind also? (41)Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not
have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.

VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into
the sheep-fold, but getteth in some other way, that person is a thief
and a robber. (2)He that entereth by the door is the shepherd of the
sheep. (3)To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth.
(4)And when he bringeth out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and
the sheep follow him: because they know his voice. (5)And a
