And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
