John 9

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

As Jesus passed along, he saw a man who had been born blind.

2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned, this one, or his parents, that he was born blind?

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

3 Jesus responded, Neither did he nor his parents sin; but that the works of God may be made manifest in him.

Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents sinned. It was only that the works of God might be displayed upon him.

4 It behooveth us to work the works of Him that sent us, while it is day: the night comes, when no one is able to work.

I must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.

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

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

6 Saying these words, He spat on the ground, and made mortar out of the spittle, and besmeared the mortar on his eyes,

Having said this, he spit upon the ground, and with the clay, which he made with the spittle, anointed the blind man's eyes,

7 and He said to him; Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is interpreted, Sent). Then he went away, and washed, and came seeing.

and said to him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies Sent.) He went, therefore, and washed them, and returned seeing.

8 Then the neighbors, and those seeing him previously, because he was a beggar, continued to say, Is not this the one sitting and begging?

Then the neighbors, and they who had before seen him blind, said, Is not this he who sat and begged?

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

Some said, It is he; others, He is like him. He said, I am he.

10 Then they said to him, How then were your eyes opened?

They asked him, then, How did you receive your sight?

11 He responded, a man called Jesus made mortar and besmeared my eyes, and said, Go to Siloam, and wash. Then having gone away and washed, I looked up.

He answered, A man called Jesus, made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash your eyes. I went accordingly, and washed them, and saw.

12 They said to him, Where is He? He says, I know not.

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

13 They lead him to the Pharisees, him formerly blind.

Then they brought him, who had been blind, to the Pharisees;

14 And it was the Sabbath on the day on which Jesus made mortar, and opened his eyes.

(now it was on a Sabbath, that Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight.)

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he looked up. And he said to them, He placed the mortar on my eyes, and I washed, and see.

The Pharisees likewise, therefore, asked him how he had received his sight. He answered, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now see.

16 Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Upon this some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, for he observes not the Sabbath. Others said, How can one that is a sinner perform such miracles? And they were divided among themselves.

17 Then they again say to the blind man, What do you say concerning Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said that, He is a prophet.

Again they asked the man, who had been blind, What do you say of him, for giving you sight? He answered, He is a prophet.

18 Then the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind, and looked up, until they called the parents of him that looked up,

But the Jews believed not that the man had been blind, and had received his sight; till they called his parents,

19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?

and asked them, Do you say, that this is your son, who was born blind? How, then, does he now see?

20 Then his parents responded and said; We know that he is our son, and that he was born blind:

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

21 but how he now sees, we know not; nor who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he has majority; he will speak for himself.

but how he now sees, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age, ask him; he will answer for himself.

22 And his parents said these things, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already stipulated, that if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

His parents spoke thus, because they fear the Jews: for the Jews had already determined, that whosoever acknowledged Jesus to be the Messiah, should be expelled from the synagogue.

23 Therefore his parents said that, He has majority, ask him.

For this reason his parents said, He is of age, ask him.

24 Then they asked the man the second time who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory: we know that this man is a sinner.

A second time, therefore, they called the man, who had been born blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

25 Then he responded, If He is a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that being blind I now see.

He replied, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, I now see.

26 Then they said to him, What did He to you? how did He open your eyes?

They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he make you see?

27 He responded to them, I told you already, and you did not hearken: why do you wish to hear again? whether do you wish to become His disciples?

He answered, I told you before; did you not hear? Why would you hear it repeated? Will you, also, be his disciples?

28 They railed on him, and said, You are His disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses:

They reviled him and said, You are his disciple. As for us, we are disciples of Moses.

29 we know that God spoke to Moses: but we do not know this One, whence He is.

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

30 The man responded and said to them; For in this it is wonderful, that you do not know whence He is, He truly opened my eyes.

The man replied, This is surprising, that you know not whence he is, although he has given me sight.

31 We know that God hears not sinners: but if any one may be a worshiper of God, and do His will, He hears him.

We know that God hears not sinners; but if any man worship God, and obey him, that man he hears.

32 It was never heard of from the beginning that any one opened the eyes of a man who was born blind: (aiōn g165)

Never was it heard before, that any man gave sight to one born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 if He were not with God, He would not be able to do anything.

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

34 They responded and said to him, Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

They replied, You were altogether born in sin, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they cast him out; and having found him, said, Do you believe on the Son of man?

Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having met him, said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?

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

He answered, Who is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?

37 Jesus said to him, Indeed you have seen Him, and the One speaking with you is He.

Jesus said to him, Not only have you seen him; but it is he, who talks with you.

38 And He said, I believe, Lord: and he worshiped Him.

And he cried, Master, I believe; and threw himself prostrate before him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that those not seeing may see; and those seeing may be made blind.

And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may become blind.

40 And those of the Pharisees being with Him heard, and said to Him, Whether are we also blind?

Some Pharisees, who were present, hearing this, said to him, Are we also blind?

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

Jesus answered, If you were blind, you would not have sin: but you say, We see: therefore your sin remains.
