John 9

1 And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.

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

2 And his disciples questioned him, saying—Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?

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

3 Jesus answered—Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.

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

5 Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.

When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

7 and said unto him—Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam, —which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.

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.

8 The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime—that he was, a beggar, were saying—Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?

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

9 Others, were saying—’Tis, the same. Others, were saying—Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying—I, am he.

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

10 So they were saying unto him—How [then] were thine eyes opened?

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

11 He, answered—The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.

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.

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

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

13 They bring him unto the Pharisees—him at one time blind.

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

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

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

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them—Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, —and do see.

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 I see.

16 Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying—This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, [however] were saying—How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.

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.

17 So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said—A prophet, is he.

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.

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

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,

19 and questioned them, saying—Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?

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

20 His parents, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;

His parents answered 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, —Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.

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.

22 These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, —for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.

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.

23 For this cause, his parents said—He is, of age, —question him.

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

24 So they called the man a second time—[him] who had been blind, and said unto him—Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner.

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.

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

26 They said, therefore, unto him—What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?

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

27 He answered them—I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?

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?

28 And they reviled him, and said—Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples: —

And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

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

We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not 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 answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes.

31 We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.

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

32 Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. (aiōn g165)

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 have done nothing.

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

34 They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, 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, finding him, said—Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man?

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered [and said]—And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?

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

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

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

38 And, he, said—I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.

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

39 And Jesus said—For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.

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

40 They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him—Are, we also, blind?

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

41 Jesus said unto them—If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.

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