Yochanan 9

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

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

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

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

3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

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

4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

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.

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 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

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

7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

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.

8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?"

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

9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."

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

10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"

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

11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

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.

12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."

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

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

They lead him to the Pharisees, him formerly blind.

14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

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

15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."

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.

16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

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.

17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

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.

18 The Jewish leaders therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

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,

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

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

20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

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

21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."

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.

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Messiah, he would be put out of the synagogue.

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.

23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."

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

24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

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.

25 He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

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

26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

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

27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?"

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?

28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."

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

30 The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

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.

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

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

32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. (aiōn g165)

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

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

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

34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.

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

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

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

36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"

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

37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."

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

38 He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.

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

39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

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

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

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

41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

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