Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 9
²³ That’s why they said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
²⁴ So for the second time they called in the man who had been blind and told him, “God should get the glory for this, because we know this man Jesus is a sinner.”
²⁵ “I don’t know whether he is a sinner,” the man replied. “But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!”
²⁶ “But what did he do?” they asked. “How did he heal you?”
²⁷ “Look!” the man exclaimed. “I told you once. Didn’t you listen? Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?”
²⁸ Then they cursed him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!
²⁹ We know God spoke to Moses, but we don’t even know where this man comes from.”
³⁰ “Why, that’s very strange!” the man replied. “He healed my eyes, and yet you don’t know where he comes from?
³¹ We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.
³² Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind.
³³ If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have done it.”
