009:030 "Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know
where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes!
009:031 We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any
one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens.
009:032 From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth.
009:033 Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."
009:034 "You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin,
and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue.
009:035 Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him,
He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
009:036 "Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may
believe in Him."
009:037 "You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so:
He is now speaking to you."
009:038 "I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet.
009:039 "I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind."
