John 9

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

And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.

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

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?

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

Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

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

I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one 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 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,

Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

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

And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

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

The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

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

Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.

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

They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

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

He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

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

They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

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

Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

16 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.

Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

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

They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

18 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.

The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

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

And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he 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 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.

but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.

22 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.

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

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

On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.

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

They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

25 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.

He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.

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

And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

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

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

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

They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from where he is.

We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.

30 The man answered and said to them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that you know not from where he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.

The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

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

[But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

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

Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)

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

If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

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

They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

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

Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

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

He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

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

And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

39 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.

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

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

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

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

Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
