John 9:27-29
New English Translation
27 He answered,[a] “I told you already and you didn’t listen.[b] Why do you want to hear it[c] again? You people[d] don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”
28 They[e] heaped insults[f] on him, saying,[g] “You are his disciple![h] We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man[i] comes from!”
