John 9
1 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his 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, saying, Master, 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 manifested 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.
I must perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
But as long as 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
And when He had said these things, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
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 at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again 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?”
And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He is like him.” But he kept saying, “I am he.”
Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.
10 So they said to him, “How were yoʋr eyes opened?”
Therefore they said to him, How were thine 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 and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.
12 They said to him, “Where is this man?” He said, “I do not know.”
Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.
13 So they brought the man who was once blind to the Pharisees.
So they brought him, that had formerly 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 the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, 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.”
Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do 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.
Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a 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.”
So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
18 Now the Jews did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they called in his parents.
And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that 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 they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth 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 it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can 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.
These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned 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.”
Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great 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 answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.
26 Again they said to him, “What did he do to yoʋ? How did he open yoʋr eyes?”
Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine 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 have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.”
but as for this man, we know not whence He is.
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, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who is devout and does his will.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth.
From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
And 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, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
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?”
And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?
37 Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have seen him, and the one speaking with yoʋ is he.”
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.
38 The man said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped him.
And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped 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.”
And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?
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 replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
