26. They asked, “What did he do to you? How did he make you see again?”
27. He answered, “I have already told you that. But you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his followers, too?”
28. Then they insulted him and said, “You are his follower. We are followers of Moses.
29. We know that God spoke to Moses. But we don’t even know where this man comes from!”
