²¹ Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

⁸ The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

³² In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

³³ If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

⁶ Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,

⁵ The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

²⁴ And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

⁵ Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears which are stopped will be open.

⁶ Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song: for in the waste land streams will be bursting out, and waters in the dry places.

¹² The hearing ear and the seeing eye are equally the Lord's work.

⁹ Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?

¹⁹ Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
