John 9

1 And as he was passing along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who 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 sinned, this man, 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 made manifest in him.

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be revealed 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 sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man 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,

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 is, when translated, 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 away 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 they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but 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 said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened?

Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes 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 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 And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know.

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

13 They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind.

They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.

14 And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath.

And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, 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.

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

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? 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 to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? 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.

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, who ye say was born blind? How then doth 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 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 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 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.

These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

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

Therefore said his parents, 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.

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

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 and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, though I was blind, now I see.

26 They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy 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 have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

28 They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but 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 hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

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

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, Why here is a marvellous thing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he hath opened my 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.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

32 Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)

Since the world began hath it not been 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 from God, he could 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.

They answered and said to 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 he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man?

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, 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, 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 it is he that talketh with thee.

38 And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.

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

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 I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and that they who see may be made 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 words, and 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 should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
