And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

Etliche aber unter ihnen sprachen: Konnte, der den Blinden die Augen aufgetan hat, nicht verschaffen, daß auch dieser nicht stürbe?
Y algunos de ellos dijeron: ¿No podía éste que abrió los ojos al ciego, hacer que éste no muriera?
Pero algunos de ellos dijeron: «¿No podía este, que abrió los ojos del ciego, haber impedido también que este muriera?».
Et quelques-uns d'entre eux dirent: Lui qui a ouvert les yeux de l'aveugle, ne pouvait-il pas faire aussi que cet homme ne mourût point?
Ma alcuni di loro dissero: Non poteva costui, che aperse gli occhi al cieco, fare ancora che costui non morisse?
E alguns deles disseram: Não podia ele, que abriu os olhos ao cego, fazer também com que este não morresse?
其中有人說:「他既然開了盲人的眼睛,難道不能叫這人不死嗎?」
