John 9
1 And as he was passing along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.
And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from 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, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might 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 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night is coming, when no one 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 Having thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and anointed his eyes 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, when translated, Sent.) He went away 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 who before had seen him as a beggar, said, Is not this he that sits and begs?
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, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.
10 They said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened?
They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
11 He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash. I went therefore and washed, and 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 And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know.
They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
13 They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind.
They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
14 And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath.
Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and I 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 some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs. 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 therefore to the blind man again, What dost thou say of him for having opened thine eyes? And 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 The Jews therefore 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 ye say was born blind? How then doth 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 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 seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask him, he is of age; he will 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 This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the 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 his parents said, He is of age; ask him.
On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.
24 They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; 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 therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, 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 They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become 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 They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence 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 ye know not whence he is, and yet he 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 We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
[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, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 If this man were not from 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, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man?
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, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.
38 And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.
And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not might see, and that they who see might become 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 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we also blind?
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 ye were blind, ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see. Your sin remaineth.
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
