John 9

1 and to pass to perceive: see a human blind out from birth

As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

2 and to ask it/s/he the/this/who disciple it/s/he to say Rabbi which? to sin this/he/she/it or the/this/who parent it/s/he in order that/to blind to beget

‘Rabbi,’ asked his disciples, ‘who was it that sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’

3 to answer (the/this/who *k*) Jesus neither this/he/she/it to sin neither the/this/who parent it/s/he but in order that/to to reveal the/this/who work the/this/who God in/on/among it/s/he

‘Neither the man nor the parents,’ replied Jesus, ‘but he was born blind so that the work of God should be made plain in him.

4 (me *N(K)O*) be necessary to work the/this/who work the/this/who to send me until day to be to come/go night when none be able to work

We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

5 when(-ever) in/on/among the/this/who world to be light to be the/this/who world

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

6 this/he/she/it to say to spit on the ground and to do/make: do clay out from the/this/who saliva and (to rub on *NK(O)*) (it/s/he *no*) the/this/who clay upon/to/against the/this/who eye (the/this/who blind *k*)

Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some paste with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.

7 and to say it/s/he to go to wash toward the/this/who pool the/this/who Siloam which to interpret to send to go away therefore/then and to wash and to come/go to see

‘Go,’ he said, ‘and wash your eyes in the Bath of Siloam’ (a word which means “messenger”). So the man went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.

8 the/this/who therefore/then neighbour and the/this/who to see/experience it/s/he the/this/who before that/since: that (a beggar *N(K)O*) to be to say no this/he/she/it to be the/this/who to sit and to beg

His neighbours, and those who had formerly known him by sight as a beggar, exclaimed, ‘Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?’

9 another to say that/since: that this/he/she/it to be another to say (not! *no*) (but *N(k)O*) (that/since: that *k*) like it/s/he to be that to say that/since: that I/we to be

‘Yes,’ some said, ‘it is’; while others said, ‘No, but he is like him.’ The man himself said, ‘I am he.’

10 to say therefore/then it/s/he how! (therefore/then *NO*) to open you the/this/who eye

‘How did you get your sight, then?’ they asked.

11 to answer that (and to say *k*) (the/this/who *no*) a human (the/this/who *no*) to say: call Jesus clay to do/make: do and to rub on me the/this/who eye and to say me (that/since: that *no*) to go toward (the/this/who pool *k*) (the/this/who *N(k)O*) Siloam and to wash to go away (therefore/then *N(K)O*) and to wash to look up/again

‘The man whom they call Jesus,’ he answered, ‘made a paste, and anointed my eyes, and said to me “Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.” So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight.’

12 (and *N(k)O*) to say it/s/he where? to be that to say no to know

‘Where is he?’ they asked. ‘I do not know,’ he answered.

13 to bring it/s/he to/with the/this/who Pharisee the/this/who once/when blind

They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.

14 to be then Sabbath (in/on/among which day *NO*) (when *k*) the/this/who clay to do/make: do the/this/who Jesus and to open it/s/he the/this/who eye

Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and gave him his sight.

15 again therefore/then to ask it/s/he and the/this/who Pharisee how! to look up/again the/this/who then to say it/s/he clay to put/lay on me upon/to/against the/this/who eye and to wash and to see

So the Pharisees also questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. ‘He put a paste on my eyes,’ he answered, ‘and I washed them, and I can see.’

16 to say therefore/then out from the/this/who Pharisee one no to be this/he/she/it from/with/beside (the/this/who *k*) God the/this/who a human that/since: since the/this/who Sabbath no to keep: observe another (then *no*) to say how! be able a human sinful such as this sign to do/make: do and split to be in/on/among it/s/he

‘The man cannot be from God,’ said some of the Pharisees, ‘for he does not keep the Sabbath.’ ‘How is it possible,’ retorted others, ‘for a bad man to give signs like this?’

17 to say (therefore/then *NO*) the/this/who blind again which? you to say about it/s/he that/since: since to open you the/this/who eye the/this/who then to say that/since: that prophet to be

So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man. ‘What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?’

18 no to trust (in) therefore/then the/this/who Jew about it/s/he that/since: that to be blind and to look up/again until who/which to call the/this/who parent it/s/he the/this/who to look up/again

The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.

19 and to ask it/s/he to say this/he/she/it to be the/this/who son you which you to say that/since: that blind to beget how! therefore/then to see now

‘Is this your son,’ they asked, ‘who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?’

20 to answer (therefore/then *N(k)*) (it/s/he *k*) the/this/who parent it/s/he and to say to know that/since: that this/he/she/it to be the/this/who son me and that/since: that blind to beget

‘We know that this is our son,’ answered the parents, ‘and that he was born blind;

21 how! then now to see no to know or which? to open it/s/he the/this/who eye me no to know it/s/he to ask (it/s/he *k*) age/height to have/be it/s/he about themself to speak

but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him – he is old enough – he will tell you about himself.’

22 this/he/she/it to say the/this/who parent it/s/he that/since: since to fear the/this/who Jew already for to agree the/this/who Jew in order that/to if one it/s/he to confess/profess Christ excommunicated to be

His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.

23 through/because of this/he/she/it the/this/who parent it/s/he to say that/since: that age/height to have/be it/s/he (to question *N(k)O*)

This was why his parents said “He is old enough; ask him.”

24 to call therefore/then the/this/who a human out from secondly which to be blind and to say it/s/he to give glory the/this/who God me to know that/since: that this/he/she/it the/this/who a human sinful to be

So the authorities again called the man who had been blind, and said to him, ‘Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man.’

25 to answer therefore/then that (and to say *k*) if sinful to be no to know one to know that/since: that blind to be now to see

‘I know nothing about his being a bad man,’ he replied. ‘One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see.’

26 to say (therefore/then *N(k)O*) it/s/he (again *k*) which? to do/make: do you how! to open you the/this/who eye

‘What did he do to you?’ they asked. ‘How did he give you your sight?’

27 to answer it/s/he to say you already and no to hear which? again to will/desire to hear not and you to will/desire it/s/he disciple to be

‘I told you just now,’ he answered, ‘and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?’

28 (and *n(o)*) (the/this/who then *o*) to revile (therefore/then *K*) it/s/he and to say you disciple to be that me then the/this/who Moses to be disciple

‘You are his disciple,’ they retorted scornfully. ‘But we are disciples of Moses.

29 me to know that/since: that Moses to speak the/this/who God this/he/she/it then no to know whence to be

We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.’

30 to answer the/this/who a human and to say it/s/he in/on/among this/he/she/it for (the/this/who *no*) marvellous to be that/since: that you no to know whence to be and (to open *N(k)O*) me the/this/who eye

‘Well,’ the man replied, ‘this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!

31 to know (then *k*) that/since: that sinful the/this/who God no to hear but if one godly to be and the/this/who will/desire it/s/he to do/make: do this/he/she/it to hear

We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God’s will, God listens to them.

32 out from the/this/who an age: age no to hear that/since: that to open one eye blind to beget (aiōn g165)

Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone’s giving sight to a person born blind. (aiōn g165)

33 if not to be this/he/she/it from/with/beside God no be able to do/make: do none

If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.’

34 to answer and to say it/s/he in/on/among sin you to beget all and you to teach me and to expel it/s/he out/outside(r)

‘You,’ they retorted, ‘were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?’ So they expelled him.

35 to hear (the/this/who *ko*) Jesus that/since: that to expel it/s/he out/outside(r) and to find/meet it/s/he to say (it/s/he *ko*) you to trust (in) toward the/this/who son the/this/who (a human *N(K)O*)

Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’

36 to answer that and to say (and *no*) which? to be lord: master in order that/to to trust (in) toward it/s/he

‘Tell me who he is, Sir,’ he replied, ‘so that I may believe in him.’

37 to say (then *k*) it/s/he the/this/who Jesus and to see: see it/s/he and the/this/who to speak with/after you that to be

‘Not only have you seen him,’ said Jesus, ‘but it is he who is now speaking to you.’

38 the/this/who then to assert to trust (in) lord: God and to worship it/s/he

‘Then, Sir, I do believe,’ said the man, bowing to the ground before him;

39 and to say the/this/who Jesus toward judgment I/we toward the/this/who world this/he/she/it to come/go in order that/to the/this/who not to see to see and the/this/who to see blind to be

and Jesus added, ‘It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.’

40 (and *k*) to hear out from the/this/who Pharisee this/he/she/it the/this/who with/after it/s/he to be and to say it/s/he not and me blind to be

Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said, ‘Then are we blind too?’

41 to say it/s/he the/this/who Jesus if blind to be no if to have/be sin now then to say that/since: that to see the/this/who (therefore/then *K*) sin you to stay

‘If you had been blind,’ replied Jesus, ‘you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say “We can see,” and so your sin remains.
