John 9
1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man who was blind from [his] birth.
As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus answered, “This man did not sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work.
I 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 When he had thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
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 is by interpretation, Sent.) He went therefore, and washed, and came 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 The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”
9 Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].
Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10 Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes opened?
They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
12 Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do 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 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division 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?” So there was division among them.
17 They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He 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 But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
The Jews 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 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 His parents answered them and said, 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 by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: 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 These [words] his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
24 Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: 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 and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas 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 Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy eyes?
They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be 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, Thou art his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses: [as for] this [man], we know not whence he is.
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 and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened my eyes.
The man answered them, “How amazing! You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
32 Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
From the age (aiōn g165) it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
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 and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? and they cast him out.
They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be made 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 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
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 ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
