Verse
John - ch 9 v 21 - 40
- But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
- They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
- That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
- So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
- He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
- Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
- His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
- And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
- We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.
- The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.
- We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.
- In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.
- If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.
- Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
- It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?
- He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.
- Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.
- And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.
- And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.
- These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
