¹¹ He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to ^(A)Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.” ¹² They said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

¹⁷ So they *said to the blind man ^(A)again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a ^(B)prophet.”

^18 (C)The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

²⁴ So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “^(A)Give glory to God; we know that ^(B)this man is a sinner.” ²⁵ He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” ²⁶ So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” ²⁷ He answered them, “^(C)I told you already and you did not ^(D)listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?” ²⁸ They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but ^(E)we are disciples of Moses. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, ^(F)we do not know where He is from.” ³⁰ The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. ³¹ We know that ^(G)God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. ^32 [a]Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. ^33 (H)If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.” ³⁴ They answered him, “^(I)You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they ^(J)put him out.

Jesus Affirms His Deity

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had ^(K)put him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the ^(L)Son of Man?” ³⁶ He answered, “^(M)Who is He, ^[b]Lord, that I may believe in Him?” ³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and ^(N)He is the one who is talking with you.” ³⁸ And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he ^(O)worshiped Him.
