And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
“Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”
So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.”
They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
The man answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.
