John 9

1 AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him.

Jesus answered, Neither has 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 that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.

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

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 So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man;

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

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

And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he.

Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10 When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?

Therefore said they unto him, How were your eyes opened?

11 he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight.

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

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

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

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

They brought to the Pharisees him that in old times was blind.

14 (Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)

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

15 The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

16 Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

17 They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.

They say unto the blind man again, What say you of him, that he has opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

18 Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

19 And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who all of you say was born blind? how then does he now see?

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 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: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

22 So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.

These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

24 The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

25 Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves?

Then said they to him again, What did he to you? how opened he your eyes?

27 He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?

He answered them, I have told you already, and all of you did not hear: wherefore would all of you hear it again? will all of you also be his disciples?

28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.

Then they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

29 We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is.

We know that God spoke unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

30 The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that all of you know not from whence he is, and yet he has opened mine eyes.

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

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

32 From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man 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 born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.

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

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

They answered and said unto him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Do you believe on the Son of God?

36 The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?

He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

37 Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.

And Jesus said unto him, You have both seen him, and it is he that talks with you.

38 Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he 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 become blind.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

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

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.

Jesus said unto them, If all of you were blind, all of you should have no sin: but now all of you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
