But the Iewes dyd not beleve of the felowe how that he was blynde and receaved his syght vntyll they had called the father and mother of him that had receaved his syght.

Suche wordes spake his father and mother because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all redy that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ he shuld be excommunicat out of the synagoge.
Therefore sayde his father and mother: he is olde ynough axe him.

He answered and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or noo I cannot tell: One thinge I am sure of that I was blynde and now I se.

He answered them I tolde you yerwhyle and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples?
Then rated they him and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples.
We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is.

For we be sure that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God and do his will him heareth he.
Sence ye worlde beganne was it not hearde yt eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd. (aiōn g165)
If this man were not of God he coulde have done no thinge.
They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: and dost thou teache vs? And they cast him out.
Iesus hearde that they had excommunicate him: and assone as he had founde him he sayd vnto him: doest thou beleve on the sonne of God?
He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde that I myght beleve on him?
And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him and he it is that talketh with the.

And he sayde: Lorde I beleve: and worshipped him.

Iesus sayde: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not myght se and they which se myght be made blynde.
And some of the pharises which were with him hearde these wordes and sayde vnto him: are we then blynde?
