John 9
1 Passing by, Jesus saw a man who was blind from birth.
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that God’s works might be revealed in this man.
Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 We must work the works of Him who sent me, as long as it’s day. Night is coming, when nobody can work.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s light.”
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 After Jesus said this, He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, put it on the blind man’s eyes,
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,
7 and told him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.
And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 Then the neighbors and those who used to see him as a beggar began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some were saying, “Yes, it is he,” others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I’m the one.”
Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 So they asked him, “How were your eyes opened?”
Therefore said they to him, How were your eyes opened?
11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam, and wash’; so I went and washed, and I received sight.”
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 “Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.
Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened the man’s eyes.
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 So the Pharisees were also asking him how he received his sight. He told them, “He applied mud to my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man isn’t from God, because He doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 So they turned again to the blind man and asked, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”
They say to the blind man again, What say you of him, that he has opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,
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.
19 and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”
But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess that Jesus was the Christ, they would be put out of the synagogue.
These words spoke 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.
23 For this reason, his parents said, “Ask him. He is of age.”
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 So they called the man who had been blind a second time, and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
Then again called they the man that was blind, and says to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered, “Whether He is a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
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.
26 Then they asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
Then said they to him again, What did he to you? how opened he your eyes?
27 He answered, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples, too, do you?”
He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear: why would you hear it again? will you also be his disciples?
28 Then they became abusive towards him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.
Then they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where He is from.”
We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from where he is.
30 The man answered, “How amazing! You don’t know where He comes from, yet He opened my eyes.
The man answered and said to them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that you know not from where he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 We know that God doesn’t hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.
Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
32 Since the beginning of time it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man weren’t from God, He could do nothing.”
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 To this they replied, “Who are you to teach us? You were born entirely in sin!” Then they threw him out.
They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered, “Who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?”
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 Jesus told him, “You have seen Him, and it is He who is talking with you.”
And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he that talks with you.
38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped Jesus.
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who don’t see may see, and those who do see may become blind.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and asked Him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?”
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus told them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
