28. They insulted him: "You are his disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.
29. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don’t know where this man is from."
30. The man answered, "This is incredible! You don’t know where he is from, yet he healed my eyes!
31. We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners. God listens to anyone who is devout and does God’s will.
32. No one has ever heard of a healing of the eyes of someone born blind.
33. If this man wasn’t from God, he couldn’t do this."
34. They responded, "You were born completely in sin! How is it that you dare to teach us?" Then they expelled him.
35. Jesus heard they had expelled the man born blind. Finding him, Jesus said, "Do you believe in the Human One?"
36. He answered, "Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him."
37. Jesus said, "You have seen him. In fact, he is the one speaking with you."
38. The man said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshipped Jesus.
39. Jesus said, "I have come into the world to exercise judgment so that those who don’t see can see and those who see will become blind."
40. Some Pharisees who were with him heard what he said and asked, "Surely we aren’t blind, are we?"
41. Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you wouldn’t have any sin, but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
