but if any man be a worshipper of God,
and doeth his will, him he heareth.
John 9:31 KJVA
But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle,
and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
and said unto him,
Go, wash in the pool of Silo´am, (which is by interpretation, Sent.)
He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind,
said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes,
and said unto me,
Go to the pool of Silo´am, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
John 9:6-8, 10-12 KJVA
But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight,
until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind?
how then doth he now see?
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son,
and that he was born blind:
but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not:
he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
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.
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no ,
I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind,
now I see.
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear:
wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man,
by what means he is made whole; be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's,
and unto God the things which be God's.
Luke 20:22, 25 KJVA
And it came to pass,
as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day,
that they watched him. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
And they held their peace. And he took him , and healed him, and let him go;
and answered them, saying,
Which of you shall have an *** or an ox fallen into a pit,
and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
And they could not answer him again to these things.
Luke 14:1-6 KJVA
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Then said he also to him that bade him,
When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen,
nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Luke 14:11-14 KJVA
