John 9

1 And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

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

2 and His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be 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 this one sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God may be revealed 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 it is necessary for Me to be working the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night comes when no one is able to work:

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

5 when 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 Saying these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

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 “Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,” which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came seeing;

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.

8 the neighbors, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, “Is this not he who is sitting and begging?”

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

9 Others said, “This is he”; and others, “He is like to 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 They said, therefore, to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

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

11 He answered and said, “A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight”;

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.

12 they said, therefore, to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I have not known.”

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

13 They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees,

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

14 and it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

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

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed—and I see.”

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.

16 Certain of the Pharisees therefore said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”; others said, “How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?” 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 said to the blind man again, “You—what do you say of Him—that He opened your eyes?”

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

18 And he said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him who 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 asked them, saying, “Is [this] your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?”

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

20 His parents answered them and said, “We have known 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 and how he now sees, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; he is of age, ask him; he himself will speak concerning himself.”

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 His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed together, that if anyone may confess Him—Christ, he may be put out of 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 because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”

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

24 They called, therefore, the man who was blind a second time, and they said to him, “Give glory to God, we have known that this Man is a sinner”;

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.

25 he answered, therefore, and said, “If He is a sinner—I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being 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 And they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

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

27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also wish to become His disciples?”

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?

28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, “You are His disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;

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

29 we have known that God has spoken to Moses, but this One—we have not known where He is from.”

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

30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known where He is from, and He opened my eyes!

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.

31 And we have known that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be a worshiper of God, and may do His will, He hears him;

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 age it was not heard that anyone opened eyes of one who has been 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 One were not from God, He were not able to do anything.”

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

34 They answered and said to him, “In sins you were born altogether, and you teach us?” And they cast him forth outside.

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

35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth outside, and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

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?

36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

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

37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He who is speaking with you is He”;

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

38 and he said, “I believe, Lord,” and worshiped Him.

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

39 And Jesus said, “I came to this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may 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 those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”

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

41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you were not having had sin, but now you say—We see, therefore your sin remains.”

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