John 9

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

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

2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

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

3 Jesus answered, “This man did not sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

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

4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

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.

5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

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

6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

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

7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

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.

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

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?

9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

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

10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

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

11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

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.

12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

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

13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

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

14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

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

15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

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.

16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

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.

17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

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.

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

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,

19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

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

20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

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

21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

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.

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

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.

23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

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

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

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.

25 He therefore answered, “I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

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

26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

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

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

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?

28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”

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

30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

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.

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

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.

32 From the age (aiōn g165) it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

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

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

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

34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, 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 God?”

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

36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

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

37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

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

38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

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

39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

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.

40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

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

41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

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