29 We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man[a] comes from!” 30 The man replied,[b] “This is a remarkable thing,[c] that you don’t know where he comes from, and yet he caused me to see![d] 31 We know that God doesn’t listen to[e] sinners, but if anyone is devout[f] and does his will, God[g] listens to[h] him.[i]
