John 9
1 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 I must do the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he rubbed the mud on the blind man's eyes
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went and washed, and came away seeing.
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8 Then his neighbors and those who had previously seen that he was blind were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?"
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He is like him.” But he kept saying, “I am he.”
Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
10 So they said to him, “How were yoʋr eyes opened?”
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11 He answered, “A man named Jesus made mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and received my sight.”
He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
12 They said to him, “Where is this man?” He said, “I do not know.”
Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 So they brought the man who was once blind to the Pharisees.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 (Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened the man's eyes.)
Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight, and he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.”
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."
16 Then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And a division arose among them.
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do yoʋ say about him, since he opened yoʋr eyes?” The man said, “He is a prophet.”
Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18 Now the Jews did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they called in his parents.
The Jewish leaders therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
19 They asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.”
but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
22 (His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess that Jesus was the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”)
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
24 So for a second time they called in the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
25 He answered, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
26 Again they said to him, “What did he do to yoʋ? How did he open yoʋr eyes?”
They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?"
28 Then they reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.”
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
30 The man answered them, “Why, this is an amazing thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes!
The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who is devout and does his will.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone 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 do nothing."
34 They answered him, “Yoʋ were born entirely in sin, and yet yoʋ are trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do yoʋ believe in the Son of God?”
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
37 Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have seen him, and the one speaking with yoʋ is he.”
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
38 The man said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped him.
He said, "Lord, I believe." and he worshiped him.
39 Then Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”
Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
