John 9

1 And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth.

And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?

And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was born blind.

3 Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him.

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

4 I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.

I must perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.

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

But as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 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,

And when He had said these things, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7 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.

and said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again seeing.

8 Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged?

And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?

9 Some said, This is he: and other sayd, He is like him: but he himselfe sayd, I am he.

Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.

10 Therefore they sayd vnto him, Howe were thine eyes opened?

Therefore they said to him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 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.

He answered and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.

12 Then they sayd vnto him, Where is he? He sayd, I can not tell.

Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.

13 They brought to the Pharises him that was once blinde.

So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees.

14 And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

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

15 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.

Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

16 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.

Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

17 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.

So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.

18 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.

And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that had received his sight.

19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, whom ye say was borne blinde? How doeth he nowe see then?

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?

20 His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blinde:

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

21 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.

but how it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can speak for himself.

22 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.

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.

Therefore his parents said, he is of age, ask him.

24 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.

Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.

25 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.

He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.

26 Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?

Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?

27 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?

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples?

28 Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:

29 We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.

but as for this man, we know not whence He is.

30 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.

The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.

31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth.

32 Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde. (aiōn g165)

From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.

And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.

34 They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.

They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?

35 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?

And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?

He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?

37 And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.

38 Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.

And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.

39 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.

And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.

40 And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, and sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also?

And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?

41 Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.

Jesus replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
