| 9:1 |
And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man who was blind from [his] birth.
|
| 9:2 |
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
|
| 9:3 |
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
|
| 9:4 |
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work.
|
| 9:5 |
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
|
| 9:6 |
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,
|
| 9:7 |
And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
|
| 9:8 |
The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
|
| 9:9 |
Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].
|
| 9:10 |
Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes opened?
|
| 9:11 |
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.
|
| 9:12 |
Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
|
| 9:13 |
They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.
|
| 9:14 |
And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
|
| 9:15 |
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.
|
| 9:16 |
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.
|
| 9:17 |
They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
|
| 9:18 |
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.
|
| 9:19 |
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
|
| 9:20 |
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
|
| 9:21 |
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.
|
| 9:22 |
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.
|
| 9:23 |
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
|
| 9:24 |
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.
|
| 9:25 |
He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
|
| 9:26 |
Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy eyes?
|
| 9:27 |
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?
|
| 9:28 |
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
|
| 9:29 |
We know that God spoke to Moses: [as for] this [man], we know not whence he is.
|
| 9:30 |
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.
|
| 9:31 |
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
|
| 9:32 |
Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
|
| 9:33 |
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
|
| 9:34 |
They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? and they cast him out.
|
| 9:35 |
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?
|
| 9:36 |
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
|
| 9:37 |
And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
|
| 9:38 |
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
|
| 9:39 |
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.
|
| 9:40 |
And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
|
| 9:41 |
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
