< John 9 >

1 And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:
And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?
3 Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on his eyes,
Assoone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and anointed the eyes of the blinde with the clay,
7 And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore, and washed, and he came seeing.
And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.
Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged?
9 But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he.
Some said, This is he: and other sayd, He is like him: but he himselfe sayd, I am he.
10 They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?
Therefore they sayd vnto him, Howe were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe, and wash. And I went, I washed, and I see.
He answered, and sayd, The man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and sayde vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and receiued sight.
12 And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.
Then they sayd vnto him, Where is he? He sayd, I can not tell.
13 They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.
They brought to the Pharises him that was once blinde.
14 Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees asked him, how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
Then againe the Pharises also asked him, how he had receiued sight. And hee sayd vnto them, He layd clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Then said some of the Pharises, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others sayd, Howe can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a dissension among them.
17 They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
Then spake they vnto the blinde againe, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he sayd, He is a Prophet.
18 The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
Then the Iewes did not beleeue him (that he had bene blinde, and receiued his sight) vntill they had called the parents of him that had receiued sight.
19 And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?
And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, whom ye say was borne blinde? How doeth he nowe see then?
20 His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blinde:
21 But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.
But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe.
22 These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue.
23 Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.
Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.
24 They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see.
26 They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?
Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?
28 They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.
We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.
The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.
32 From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde. (aiōn g165)
33 Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.
If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.
34 They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God?
36 He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?
37 And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.
And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.
38 And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.
Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see; and they who see, may become blind.
And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde.
40 And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?
And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, and sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also?
41 Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.
Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.
