John 9

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

AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, 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 should be made manifest in him.

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him.

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

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, 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 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man;

7 and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, and they which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?

9 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he].

Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he.

10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight.

12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

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

13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.

14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)

15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

17 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.

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

Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.

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

And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he 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 how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.

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

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

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

The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

25 He therefore answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves?

27 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?

28 And 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 the disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is.

30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes.

The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.

31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, 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)

From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one 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 not do any thing.

34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

They answered and said unto 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 finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.

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

Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they which see not may see; and that they which see may become blind.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.

40 Those of the Pharisees which were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

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

41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.
