John 9:17

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

They say {G3004} unto the blind man {G5185} again {G3825}, What {G5101} sayest {G3004} thou {G4771} of {G4012} him {G846}, that {G3754} he hath opened {G455} thine {G4675} eyes {G3788}? He said {G2036},{G3754}{G1161} He is {G2076} a prophet {G4396}.

So once more they spoke to the blind man: “Since you’re the one whose eyes he opened, what do you say about him?” He replied: “He is a prophet.”

So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
