This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
“Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?”
So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, “It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.”
They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take it up and walk’?”
Therefore the Jews started persecuting Jesus, because he was doing such things on the sabbath.
For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.
Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.”
He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out.
