from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;
This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
Even from antiquity `men' have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for those waiting for Him.
As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age;
others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;
if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'
and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake -- so great!
