Isa. 42:16,18• 16And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not, in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
18--Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. (Isa. 42:16,18)
John 9:7‑33• 7And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
8The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?
9Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I.
10They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
11He answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.
12They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
13They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
14Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.
17They say therefore again to the blind man, What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
19And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
20His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.
22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him to be the Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
23On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.
24They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
25He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind before, now I see.
26And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
28They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29We know that God spoke to Moses; but as to this man, we know not whence he is.
30The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.
31But we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
32Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.
33If this man were not of God he would be able to do nothing. (John 9:7‑33)
