164:4.3 One of the older [[Pharisees]], after making a lengthy [[speech]], said: " This man cannot be from [[God]] because you can see that he does not [[observe]] the [[Sabbath]]. He [[violates]] the [[law]], first, in making the [[clay]], then, in sending this [[beggar]] to wash in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_of_Siloam Siloam] on the [[Sabbath]] day. Such a man cannot be a [[teacher]] sent from [[God]]. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_9]

164:4.4 Then one of the younger men who [[secretly]] believed in [[Jesus]], said: " If this man is not sent by [[God]], how can he do these things? We know that one who is a common [[sinner]] cannot [[perform]] such [[miracles]]. We all know this [[beggar]] and that he was [[born]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness blind]; now he sees. Will you still say that this [[prophet]] does all these [[wonders]] by the [[power]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beezlebuub prince of devils]? " And for every [[Pharisee]] who [[dared]] to [[accuse]] and denounce [[Jesus]] one would arise to ask [[entangling]] and [[embarrassing]] [[questions]], so that a serious division arose among them. The presiding officer saw whither they were drifting, and in order to allay the [[discussion]], he [[prepared]] further to question the man himself. Turning to Josiah, he said: " What do you have to say about this man, this [[Jesus]], whom you claim opened your eyes? " And Josiah answered, " I [[think]] he is a [[prophet]].

164:4.5 The [[leaders]] were greatly [[troubled]] and, knowing not what else to do, [[decided]] to send for Josiah's [[parents]] to [[learn]] whether he had [[actually]] been born [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness blind]. They were loath to [[believe]] that the [[beggar]] had been [[healed]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_9]

164:4.10 Josiah replied, somewhat impatiently: " I have told you exactly how it all happened, and if you did not [[believe]] my [[testimony]], why would you hear it again? Would you by any [[chance]] also become his [[disciples]]? " When Josiah had thus spoken, the [[Sanhedrin]] broke up in [[confusion]], almost [[violence]], for the [[leaders]] rushed upon Josiah, [[angrily]] exclaiming: " You may talk about being this man's [[disciple]], but we are disciples of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], and we are the [[teachers]] of the [[laws]] of [[God]]. We know that God spoke through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], but as for this man [[Jesus]], we know not whence he is.

164:4.11 Then Josiah, standing upon a stool, shouted abroad to all who could hear, saying: " Hearken, you who claim to be the [[teachers]] of all [[Israel]], while I [[declare]] to you that herein is a great [[marvel]] since you [[confess]] that you know not whence this man is, and yet you know of a [[certainty]], from the [[testimony]] which you have heard, that he opened my eyes. We all know that [[God]] does not [[perform]] such works for the ungodly; that [[God]] would do such a thing only at the request of a true [[worshiper]]—for one who is [[holy]] and [[righteous]]. You know that not since the beginning of the world have you ever heard of the opening of the eyes of one who was [[born]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness blind]. Look, then, all of you, upon me and [[realize]] what has been done this day in [[Jerusalem]]! I tell you, if this man were not from [[God]], he could not do this. " And as the [[Sanhedrin|Sanhedrists]] departed in [[anger]] and [[confusion]], they shouted to him: " You were altogether [[born]] in [[sin]], and do you now [[presume]] to teach us? Maybe you were not really [[born]] blind, and even if your eyes were opened on the [[Sabbath]] day, this was done by the power of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beezlebuub prince of devils]. " And they went at once to the [[synagogue]] to cast out Josiah.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_9]

164:4.12 Josiah entered this [[trial]] with meager [[ideas]] about [[Jesus]] and the [[nature]] of his [[healing]]. Most of the daring [[testimony]] which he so cleverly and [[courageously]] bore before this supreme [[tribunal]] of all [[Israel]] [[developed]] in his [[mind]] as the [[trial]] [[proceeded]] along such unfair and unjust lines.
