You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”They insulted him and said,“ You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”The man answered them,“ How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”They answered him,“ You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said,“ Do you believe in the Son of God?”He answered,“ Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”Jesus said to him,“ You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”He said,“ Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”Again,“ I will put my trust in him.” Again,“ Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
