John 9

1 And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:

And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb.

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, and said: Our Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

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

Jesus said to them: Neither did he sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be seen in 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 work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, in which no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

So 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,

And having spoken thus, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and spread it on the eyes of the blind man;

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 said to him: Go, wash in the baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away 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.

And his neighbors, and they by whom he had before been seen begging, said: Is not this he, who sat and begged?

9 But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he.

Some said, It is he: and others said, No; but he is very like him. But he said: I am he.

10 They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?

And they said to him: How were thy 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 said to them: A man whose name is Jesus, made mud and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Siloam. And I went, and washed, and my sight was restored.

12 And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.

They said to him: Where is he? He said to them: I know not.

13 They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.

And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees.

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

Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, 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.

And again the Pharisees asked him: How was thy sight restored? And he said to them: He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and my sight was restored.

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.

And some of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, for he doth not observe the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner, work these signs? And there was a division 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.

They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that 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,

And the Jews would not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and recovered sight, until they called the parents of him who recovered 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: Is this your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? And how doth he now see?

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

And his parents answered 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 hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.

but how he now seeth, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He hath come to his years, ask him; he will speak for himself.

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 things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had decided, that if any one should confess him to be Messiah, they would expel him from the synagogue.

23 Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.

For this reason his parents said, He hath come to his years, ask 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.

And they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; for 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.

He replied, and said to them: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; but, one thing I know, that I was blind, and lo, now I see.

26 They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?

They said to him again: What did he to thee? How did he open thy 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?

He said to them: I have told you, and ye did not hear. Why would ye hear again? Do ye also wish to become his disciples?

28 They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

But they reproached him, and said to him: Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.

And we know that God conversed with Moses; but as for this man, we know not 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 replied and said to them: In this therefore is something to be admired, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened my 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 the voice of sinners; but him that feareth him, and doeth his pleasure, him he heareth.

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)

Never hath it been heard, that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.

If this man were not of God, he could not do this thing.

34 They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

They replied, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they expelled him.

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?

And Jesus heard that they had expelled him; and he found him, and said to him: Believest thou on the Son of God?

36 He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

And he that was healed, answered and said: My Lord, who is he, that I may believe on him?

37 And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.

Jesus said to him: Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

38 And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.

And he said: My Lord, I believe: and he fell down, 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 Jesus said: For the judgment of this world, have I come; that they who see not, might see; and that they who see, might become blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?

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

41 Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.

Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would be without sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is established.
