14. and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15. Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash--and I see.'
16. Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man--a sinful one--able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.
17. They said to the blind man again, `Thou--what dost thou say of him--that he opened thine eyes?'
18. and he said--`He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,
19. and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'
20. His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21. and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'
22. These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him--Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

24. They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'
25. he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner--I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'
26. And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'
27. He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'
28. They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;
29. we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one--we have not known whence he is.'
30. The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!
31. and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;
32. from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;
