9:13 他們把從前瞎眼的人帶到法利賽人那裡。
9:14 耶穌和泥開他眼睛的日子是安息日。
9:15 法利賽人也問他是怎麼得看見的。瞎子對他們說：「他把泥抹在我的眼睛上，我去一洗，就看見了。」
9:16 法利賽人中有的說：「這個人不是從上帝來的，因為他不守安息日。」又有人說：「一個罪人怎能行這樣的神蹟呢？」他們就起了紛爭。
9:17 他們又對瞎子說：「他既然開了你的眼睛，你說他是怎樣的人呢？」他說：「是個先知。」
9:18 猶太人不信他從前是瞎眼，後來能看見的，等到叫了他的父母來，
9:19 問他們說：「這是你們的兒子嗎？你們說他生來是瞎眼的，如今怎麼能看見了呢？」
9:20 他父母回答說：「他是我們的兒子，生來就瞎眼，這是我們知道的。
9:21 至於他如今怎麼能看見，我們卻不知道；是誰開了他的眼睛，我們也不知道。他已經成了人，你們問他吧，他自己必能說。」
9:22 他父母說這話，是怕猶太人；因為猶太人已經商議定了，若有認耶穌是基督的，要把他趕出會堂。
9:23 因此他父母說：「他已經成了人，你們問他吧。」
9:24 所以法利賽人第二次叫了那從前瞎眼的人來，對他說：「你該將榮耀歸給上帝，我們知道這人是個罪人。」
9:25 他說：「他是個罪人不是，我不知道；有一件事我知道，從前我是眼瞎的，如今能看見了。」
9:26 他們就問他說：「他向你做甚麼？是怎麼開了你的眼睛呢？」
9:27 他回答說：「我方才告訴你們，你們不聽，為甚麼又要聽呢？莫非你們也要作他的門徒嗎？」
9:28 他們就罵他說：「你是他的門徒；我們是摩西的門徒。
9:29 上帝對摩西說話是我們知道的；只是這個人，我們不知道他從哪裡來！」
9:30 那人回答說：「他開了我的眼睛，你們竟不知道他從哪裡來，這真是奇怪！
9:31 我們知道上帝不聽罪人，惟有敬奉上帝、遵行他旨意的，上帝才聽他。
9:32 從創世以來，未曾聽見有人把生來是瞎子的眼睛開了。
9:33 這人若不是從上帝來的，甚麼也不能做。」
9:34 他們回答說：「你全然生在罪孽中，還要教訓我們嗎？」於是把他趕出去了。
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”
But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.
17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.”
The man replied, “He is a prophet.”
18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.

看到法利賽人的行徑，就感受到一些政治人物的嘴臉，想為自己建立勢力和權柄，讓人都尊敬和聽從他們，並且不斷的打壓對祂們有威脅的人。正如主耶穌一治好了瞎眼的人，他們就不斷的對那人和他的家人施壓，並且汙衊主耶穌。
這些充滿污穢和不義的行徑，是站立不住的！因為他們攻擊的對象是主耶穌，是永生的上帝！雖然法利賽有宗教上的地位，但是瞎眼的人卻是親身經歷上帝的作為，就不會屈服在這些惡勢力底下，因為上帝是真實與永恆的，那些敵對主耶穌的力量終必過去！
同樣，今日我們是主耶穌的門徒，也不要屈服在邪惡的勢力下，也不用懼怕他們，唯有基督是主，祂是永堅立的，信靠祂的也永不搖動！因為勝利是屬於上帝和他的子民的，一直到永遠！
