The Man Defends Jesus and Is Cast Out

24

Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner.

25

Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see.

26

Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?

27

Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?

28

Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.

29

We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.

30

The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

31

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.

32

Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde.

33

If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.

34

They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.
