John 9:3 Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.	John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

John 9:7 And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

John 9:10 So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?	John 9:10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

John 9:16 Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs?

But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.
John 9:17 Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.	John 9:17 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

John 9:21 But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.	John 9:21 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.
John 9:22 They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.	John 9:22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
John 9:23 That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.	John 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
