John 9
1 As Jesus passed along, he saw a man who had been born blind.
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 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 this man nor his parents sinned. It was only that the works of God might be displayed upon him.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 While 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 Having said this, he spit upon the ground, and with the clay, which he made with the spittle, anointed the blind man's eyes,
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.) He went, therefore, and washed them, and returned 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 Then the neighbors, and they who had before seen him blind, said, Is not this he who sat and begged?
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, It is he; others, He is like him. He said, I am he.
Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 They asked him, then, How did you receive your sight?
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 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.
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 Then they asked him, Where is he? He answered, I know not.
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 Then they brought him, who had been blind, to the Pharisees;
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 (now it was on a Sabbath, that Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight.)
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 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.
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 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.
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth 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 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.
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews believed not that the man had been blind, and had received his sight; till they called his parents,
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 asked them, Do you say, that this is your son, who was born blind? How, then, does he now see?
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, 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 sees, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age, ask him; he will answer for himself.
But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 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.
These words spake 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 For this reason his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 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.
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 He replied, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, I now 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 They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he make you see?
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered, I told you before; did you not hear? Why would you hear it repeated? Will you, also, be his disciples?
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 They reviled him and said, You are his disciple. As for us, we are disciples of Moses.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this man, we know not whence he is.
We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man replied, This is surprising, that you know not whence he is, although he has given me sight.
The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 We know that God hears not sinners; but if any man worship God, and obey him, that man he hears.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
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 do nothing.
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They replied, You were altogether born in sin, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having met him, said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered, Who is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 Jesus said to him, Not only have you seen him; but it is he, who talks with you.
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he cried, Master, I believe; and threw himself prostrate before him.
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 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.
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 Some Pharisees, who were present, hearing this, said to him, Are we also blind?
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus answered, If you were blind, you would not have sin: but you say, We see: therefore your sin remains.
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
