The Life and Teachings
of Jesus
A Restatement of the Gospels

84. Before the Sanhedrin (continued)

        26They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
        27He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you too want to become his disciples?”
        28And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”
        30The man answered, “Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing.”
        34They answered him, “You were born in sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out of the synagogue.
        35Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
        36He answered, “Tell me who he is that I may believe in him.”
        37Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is he who now speaks to you.”
        38He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
