John 9

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

And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from 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 has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested 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.

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

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

Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.

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

They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been 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 [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 unto him—Where is, He? He saith—I know not.

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

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

They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

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

Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received 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 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, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;

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

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 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.

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

On this account his parents said, 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.

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

And they said to him again, What did he do 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 already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

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

They railed at 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 spoke to Moses; but [as to] 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 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, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.

[But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

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 time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing.

If this [man] were not of God he would be able to 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 to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest 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 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, 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.

And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

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

And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

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 am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

40 They of the Pharisees who 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 they said to him, Are we blind also?

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 to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
