9:28 They 5 heaped insults 6 on him, saying, 7 “You are his disciple! 8 We are disciples of Moses! 9:29 We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man 9 comes from!” 9:30 The man replied, 10 “This is a remarkable thing, 11 that you don’t know where he comes from, and yet he caused me to see! 12 9:31 We know that God doesn’t listen to 13 sinners, but if anyone is devout 14 and does his will, God 15 listens to 16 him. 17 9:32 Never before 18 has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see. 19 9:33 If this man 20 were not from God, he could do nothing.” 9:34 They replied, 21 “You were born completely in sinfulness, 22 and yet you presume to teach us?” 23 So they threw him out.
9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man 24 and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 25 9:36 The man 26 replied, 27 “And who is he, sir, that 28 I may believe in him?” 9:37 Jesus told him, “You have seen him; he 29 is the one speaking with you.” 30 9:38 [He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. 31 9:39 Jesus 32 said,] 33 “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight, 34 and the ones who see may become blind.”
9:40 Some of the Pharisees 35 who were with him heard this 36 and asked him, 37 “We are not blind too, are we?” 38 9:41 Jesus replied, 39 “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin, 40 but now because you claim that you can see, 41 your guilt 42 remains.” 43
