John 9

1 And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.

And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 And his disciples questioned him, saying—Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?

3 Jesus answered—Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.

4 We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.

5 Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.

When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;

Having said these things, he spat toward the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man.

7 and said unto him—Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam, —which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.

And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, He who has been sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime—that he was, a beggar, were saying—Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?

The neighbors therefore and those who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is this not he who sits and begs?

9 Others, were saying—’Tis, the same. Others, were saying—Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying—I, am he.

Others said, He is this man, but others said, He is like him. That man said, I am.

10 So they were saying unto him—How [then] were thine eyes opened?

They said to him therefore, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He, answered—The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.

That man answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed on my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And after going and washing, I received sight.

12 And they said unto him—Where is, He? He saith—I know not.

Therefore they said to him, Where is that man? He says, I do not know.

13 They bring him unto the Pharisees—him at one time blind.

They brought him to the Pharisees-the former blind man.

14 Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes.

Now it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them—Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, —and do see.

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

16 Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying—This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, [however] were saying—How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them.

17 So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said—A prophet, is he.

They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

18 The Jews, therefore, did not believe, concerning him, that he was blind, and received sight, —until they called the parents of him that had received sight,

The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight.

19 and questioned them, saying—Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?

20 His parents, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;

And his parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,

21 But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not, —Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.

but how he now sees, we know not. Or who opened his eyes, we know not. He has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself.

22 These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, —for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.

His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.

23 For this cause, his parents said—He is, of age, —question him.

Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him.

24 So they called the man a second time—[him] who had been blind, and said unto him—Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner.

So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful.

25 He, therefore, answered—Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, —That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see!

That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see.

26 They said, therefore, unto him—What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?

But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

27 He answered them—I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?

He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples?

28 And they reviled him, and said—Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples: —

They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; but, as for this man, we know not whence he is.

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from.

30 The man answered, and said unto them—Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.

The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.

31 We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.

And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man.

32 Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. (aiōn g165)

From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

34 They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.

They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us? And they cast him outside.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said—Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man?

Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God?

36 He answered [and said]—And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?

That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

37 Jesus said unto him—Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he.

And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee.

38 And, he, said—I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.

And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

39 And Jesus said—For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.

And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, so that those not seeing might see, and those who see might become blind.

40 They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him—Are, we also, blind?

And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we also blind?

41 Jesus said unto them—If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.

Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin, but now ye say, We see, therefore your sin remains.
