Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can’t be the Messiah, can he?”

However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child on the Sabbath.

But if a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

“Our law doesn’t condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?”

But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me.”

Then they summoned the man who used to be blind a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth. We know that this man is a sinner.”
