John 9

1 And passing by He saw a man blind from birth.

Passing by, Jesus saw a man who was blind from birth.

2 And asked Him the disciples of Him saying; Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or the parents of him, that blind he may be born?

His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3 Answered (*k*) Jesus; Neither this [man] sinned nor [sinned] the parents of him, but [it was] that may be displayed the works of God in him.

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that God’s works might be revealed in this man.

4 (Us *N(K)O*) it behooves to work the works of the [One who] having sent Me while day it is; is coming night, when no [one] is able to work.

We must work the works of Him who sent me, as long as it’s day. Night is coming, when nobody can work.

5 While in the world I may be, [the] light I am of the world.

As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s light.”

6 These things having said He spat on [the] ground and He made clay of the spittle and (he rubbed *NK(O)*) (on him *no*) the clay to the eyes (of the blind *k*)

After Jesus said this, He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, put it on the blind man’s eyes,

7 And He said to him; do go do wash yourself in the pool of Siloam which means Sent. He went therefore and washed and came [back] seeing.

and told him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

8 The therefore neighbours and those having seen him before that (a beggar *N(K)O*) he was, were saying; Surely this is the [one] sitting and begging?

Then the neighbors and those who used to see him as a beggar began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

9 Some were saying that He it is, but others were saying; (No, *no*) (but *N(k)O*) (that *k*) like as him he is. He was saying that I myself am [he].

Some were saying, “Yes, it is he,” others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I’m the one.”

10 They were saying therefore to him; How (then *NO*) were opened of you the eyes?

So they asked him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11 Answered He (and said: *k*) (The *no*) man (who *no*) is being named Jesus clay made and He anointed my eyes and He said to me (that *no*) do go to (pool *k*) (*N(k)O*) Siloam and do wash. yourself Having gone (therefore *N(K)O*) and having washed I received sight.

He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam, and wash’; so I went and washed, and I received sight.”

12 (And *N(k)O*) they said to him; Where is He? He says; Not I know.

“Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.

13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind;

They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.

14 Was now Sabbath (in which day *NO*) (when *k*) the clay made Jesus and opened of him the eyes.

Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened the man’s eyes.

15 Again therefore were asking him also the Pharisees how he had received sight. And he said to them; Clay He put on my eyes and I washed and I see.

So the Pharisees were also asking him how he received his sight. He told them, “He applied mud to my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

16 Were saying therefore of the Pharisees some; Not is this from (*k*) God the man for the Sabbath not He does keep. Others (however *no*) were saying; How is able a man sinful such signs to do? And division there was among them.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man isn’t from God, because He doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.

17 They say (therefore *NO*) to the blind [man] again; What you yourself say concerning Him for He opened of you the eyes? And he said that A prophet He is.

So they turned again to the blind man and asked, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”

18 Not did believe then the Jews concerning him that he was being blind and received sight until when they called the parents of him who having received sight,

The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,

19 And they asked them saying; This is the son of you of whom you yourselves say that blind he was born? How then does he see presently

and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

20 Answered (therefore *N(k)*) (to them *k*) the parents of him and said; We know that this is the son of us and that blind he was born;

His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,

21 How however presently he sees not we know, or who opened of him the eyes we ourselves not know; him do ask, (he himself *k*) [of] age is; He himself Concerning himself he will speak.

but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”

22 These things said the parents of Him because they were afraid of the Jews; already for had agreed together the Jews that if anyone Him shall confess Christ, expelled from the synagogue he shall be.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess that Jesus was the Christ, they would be put out of the synagogue.

23 Because of this the parents of him said that Age he has, him (do question. *N(k)O*)

For this reason, his parents said, “Ask him. He is of age.”

24 They called therefore the man out a second time who were blind and they said to him; do give glory to God! We ourselves know that this man a sinner is.

So they called the man who had been blind a second time, and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

25 Answered then he (and said: *k*) Whether a sinner He is not I know; One [thing] I do know that blind being now I see.

He answered, “Whether He is a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

26 They said (therefore *N(k)O*) to him (again: *k*) What did He to you? How opened He of you the eyes?

Then they asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27 He answered them; I told you already, and not you did listen. Why again do you wish to hear? Surely not also you yourselves do wish His disciples to become?

He answered, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples, too, do you?”

28 (And *n(o)*) ([they] now *o*) railed at (therefore *K*) him and said; You yourself a disciple are of that One, we ourselves however of Moses are disciples.

Then they became abusive towards him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

29 We ourselves know that to Moses has spoken God, this [man] however not we know from where is.

We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where He is from.”

30 Answered the man and said to them; In this for (*no*) an amazing thing is that you yourselves not know from where He is, and yet (He opened *N(k)O*) my eyes.

The man answered, “How amazing! You don’t know where He comes from, yet He opened my eyes.

31 We know (now *k*) that to sinners God not does listen, but if anyone God-fearing shall be and the will of Him shall do, to him He listens.

We know that God doesn’t hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.

32 Out of the age never it has been heard that opened anyone [the] eyes of [one] blind born. (aiōn g165)

Since the beginning of time it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 only unless were this [man] from God, not He was able to do no [thing].

If this man weren’t from God, He could do nothing.”

34 They answered and they said to him; In sins you yourself were born entirely and you yourself teach us? And they cast him out.

To this they replied, “Who are you to teach us? You were born entirely in sin!” Then they threw him out.

35 Heard (*ko*) Jesus that they had cast him out, and having found him He said (to him: *ko*) You yourself believe in the Son (of Man? *N(K)O*)

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

36 Answered he and said; (And *no*) who is He, lord, that I may believe in Him?

He answered, “Who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?”

37 Said (now *k*) to him Jesus; Both You have seen Him, and the [One] speaking with you He is.

Jesus told him, “You have seen Him, and it is He who is talking with you.”

38 And he was saying; I believe, Lord, And he worshiped Him.

Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped Jesus.

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

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who don’t see may see, and those who do see may become blind.”

40 (and *k*) Heard from the Pharisees these things who with Him being and they said to Him; Surely not also we ourselves blind are?

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and asked Him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?”

41 Said to them Jesus; If blind you were, not then would you have sin. since however you say that We see, the (therefore *K*) sin of you remains.

Jesus told them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
