¹ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

² And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, 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.

⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

⁶ When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

⁷ And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

⁸ The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

⁹ Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

¹⁰ Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

¹¹ He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

¹² Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

¹³ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

¹⁴ And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵ Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

¹⁶ Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine 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.

¹⁹ 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 and said, 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 shall speak for himself.

²² These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶ Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

²⁹ We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

³³ If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

³⁷ And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

⁴¹ Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

¹ And ^G2532 as Jesus passed by, ^G3855 he saw ^G1492 a man ^G444 which was blind ^G5185 from ^G1537 his birth. ^G1079

² And ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 asked ^G2065 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Master, ^G4461 who ^G5101 did sin, ^G264 this man, ^G3778 or ^G2228 his ^G846 parents, ^G1118 that ^G2443 he was born ^G1080 blind? ^G5185

³ Jesus ^G2424 answered, ^G611 Neither ^G3777 hath ^G264 this man ^G3778 sinned, ^G264 nor ^G3777 his ^G846 parents: ^G1118 but ^G235 that ^G2443 the works ^G2041 of God ^G2316 should be made manifest ^G5319 in ^G1722 him. ^G846

⁴ I ^G1691 must ^G1163 work ^G2038 the works ^G2041 of him that sent ^G3992 me, ^G3165 while ^G2193 it is ^G2076 day: ^G2250 the night ^G3571 cometh, ^G2064 when ^G3753 no man ^G3762 can ^G1410 work. ^G2038

⁵ As long as ^G3752 I am ^G5600 in ^G1722 the world, ^G2889 I am ^G1510 the light ^G5457 of the world. ^G2889

⁶ When he had thus ^G5023 spoken, ^G2036 he spat ^G4429 on the ground, ^G5476 and ^G2532 made ^G4160 clay ^G4081 of ^G1537 the spittle, ^G4427 and ^G2532 he anointed ^{G2025 G1909} the eyes ^G3788 of the blind man ^G5185 with the clay, ^G4081

⁷ And ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Go, ^G5217 wash ^G3538 in ^G1519 the pool ^G2861 of Siloam, ^G4611 (which ^G3739 is by interpretation, ^G2059 Sent.) ^G649 He went his way ^G565 therefore, ^G3767 and ^G2532 washed, ^G3538 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 seeing. ^G991

⁸ The neighbours ^G1069 therefore, ^G3767 and ^G2532 they which before ^G4386 had seen ^G2334 him ^G846 that ^G3754 he was ^G2258 blind, ^G5185 said, ^G3004 Is ^G2076 not ^G3756 this ^G3778 he that sat ^G2521 and ^G2532 begged? ^G4319

⁹ Some ^G243 said, ^{G3004 G3754} This ^G3778 is he: ^{G2076 G1161} others ^G243 said, ^G3754 He is ^G2076 like ^G3664 him: ^G846 but he ^G1565 said, ^{G3004 G3754} I ^G1473 am ^G1510 he.

¹⁰ Therefore ^G3767 said they ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 How ^G4459 were ^G455 thine ^G4675 eyes ^G3788 opened? ^G455

¹¹ He ^G1565 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 A man ^G444 that is called ^G3004 Jesus ^G2424 made ^G4160 clay, ^G4081 and ^G2532 anointed ^G2025 mine ^G3450 eyes, ^G3788 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto me, ^G3427 Go ^G5217 to ^G1519 the pool ^G2861 of Siloam, ^G4611 and ^G2532 wash: ^G3538 and ^G1161 I went ^G565 and ^G2532 washed, ^G3538 and I received sight. ^G308

¹² Then ^G3767 said they ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Where ^G4226 is ^G2076 he? ^G1565 He said, ^G3004 I know ^G1492 not. ^G3756

¹³ They brought ^G71 to ^G4314 the Pharisees ^G5330 him ^G846 that aforetime ^G4218 was blind. ^G5185

¹⁴ And ^G1161 it was ^G2258 the sabbath day ^G4521 when ^G3753 Jesus ^G2424 made ^G4160 the clay, ^G4081 and ^G2532 opened ^G455 his ^G846 eyes. ^G3788

¹⁵ Then ^G3767 again ^G3825 the Pharisees ^G5330 also ^G2532 asked ^G2065 him ^G846 how ^G4459 he had received his sight. ^{G308 G1161} He said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 He put ^G2007 clay ^G4081 upon ^G1909 mine ^G3450 eyes, ^G3788 and ^G2532 I washed, ^G3538 and ^G2532 do see. ^G991

¹⁶ Therefore ^G3767 said ^G3004 some ^G5100 of ^G1537 the Pharisees, ^G5330 This ^G3778 man ^G444 is ^G2076 not ^G3756 of ^G3844 God, ^G2316 because ^G3754 he keepeth ^G5083 not ^G3756 the sabbath day. ^G4521 Others ^G243 said, ^G3004 How ^G4459 can ^G1410 a man ^G444 that is a sinner ^G268 do ^G4160 such ^G5108 miracles? ^G4592 And ^G2532 there was ^G2258 a division ^G4978 among ^G1722 them. ^G846

¹⁷ They say ^G3004 unto the blind man ^G5185 again, ^G3825 What ^G5101 sayest ^G3004 thou ^G4771 of ^G4012 him, ^G846 that ^G3754 he hath opened ^G455 thine ^G4675 eyes? ^G3788 He said, ^{G2036 G3754 G1161} He is ^G2076 a prophet. ^G4396

¹⁸ But ^G3767 the Jews ^G2453 did ^G4100 not ^G3756 believe ^G4100 concerning ^G4012 him, ^G846 that ^G3754 he had been ^G2258 blind, ^G5185 and ^G2532 received his sight, ^G308 until ^{G2193 G3755} they called ^G5455 the parents ^G1118 of him ^G846 that had received his sight. ^G308

¹⁹ And ^G2532 they asked ^G2065 them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Is ^G2076 this ^G3778 your ^G5216 son, ^G5207 who ^G3739 ye ^G5210 say ^{G3004 G3754} was born ^G1080 blind? ^G5185 how ^G4459 then ^G3767 doth he ^G991 now ^G737 see? ^G991

²⁰ His ^G846 parents ^G1118 answered ^G611 them ^G846 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 We know ^G1492 that ^G3754 this ^G3778 is ^G2076 our ^G2257 son, ^G5207 and ^G2532 that ^G3754 he was born ^G1080 blind: ^G5185

²¹ But ^G1161 by what means ^G4459 he ^G991 now ^G3568 seeth, ^G991 we know ^G1492 not; ^G3756 or ^G2228 who ^G5101 hath opened ^G455 his ^G846 eyes, ^G3788 we ^G2249 know ^G1492 not: ^G3756 he ^G846 is ^G2192 of age; ^G2244 ask ^G2065 him: ^G846 he ^G846 shall speak ^G2980 for ^G4012 himself. ^G848

²² These ^G5023 words spake ^G2036 his ^G846 parents, ^G1118 because ^G3754 they feared ^G5399 the Jews: ^G2453 for ^G1063 the Jews ^G2453 had agreed ^G4934 already, ^G2235 that ^G2443 if ^G1437 any man ^G5100 did confess ^G3670 that he ^G846 was Christ, ^G5547 he should be ^G1096 put out of the synagogue. ^G656

²³ Therefore ^{G1223 G5124} said ^G2036 his ^G846 parents, ^{G1118 G3754} He is ^G2192 of age; ^G2244 ask ^G2065 him. ^G846

²⁴ Then ^G3767 again ^{G1208 G1537} called they ^G5455 the man ^G444 that ^G3739 was ^G2258 blind, ^G5185 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Give ^G1325 God ^G2316 the praise: ^G1391 we ^G2249 know ^G1492 that ^G3754 this ^G3778 man ^G444 is ^G2076 a sinner. ^G268

^{25 G3767} He ^G1565 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Whether ^G1487 he be ^G2076 a sinner ^G268 or no, I know ^G1492 not: ^G3756 one thing ^G1520 I know, ^G1492 that, ^G3754 whereas I was ^G5607 blind, ^G5185 now ^G737 I see. ^G991

²⁶ Then ^G1161 said they ^G2036 to him ^G846 again, ^G3825 What ^G5101 did he ^G4160 to thee? ^G4671 how ^G4459 opened he ^G455 thine ^G4675 eyes? ^G3788

²⁷ He answered ^G611 them, ^G846 I have told ^G2036 you ^G5213 already, ^G2235 and ^G2532 ye did ^G191 not ^G3756 hear: ^G191 wherefore ^G5101 would ^G2309 ye hear ^G191 it again? ^G3825 will ^{G3361 G2309} ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 be ^G1096 his ^G846 disciples? ^G3101

²⁸ Then ^G3767 they reviled ^G3058 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Thou ^G4771 art ^G1488 his ^G1565 disciple; ^G3101 but ^G1161 we ^G2249 are ^G2070 Moses' ^G3475 disciples. ^G3101

²⁹ We ^G2249 know ^G1492 that ^G3754 God ^G2316 spake ^G2980 unto Moses: ^G3475 as for this ^{G1161 G5126} fellow, we know ^G1492 not ^G3756 from whence ^G4159 he is. ^G2076

³⁰ The man ^G444 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Why ^G1063 herein ^{G1722 G5129} is ^G2076 a marvellous thing, ^G2298 that ^G3754 ye ^G5210 know ^G1492 not ^G3756 from whence ^G4159 he is, ^G2076 and ^G2532 yet he hath opened ^G455 mine ^G3450 eyes. ^G3788

³¹ Now ^G1161 we know ^G1492 that ^G3754 God ^G2316 heareth ^G191 not ^G3756 sinners: ^G268 but ^G235 if ^G1437 any man ^G5100 be ^G5600 a worshipper of God, ^G2318 and ^G2532 doeth ^G4160 his ^G846 will, ^G2307 him ^G5127 he heareth. ^G191

³² Since ^G1537 the world began ^G165 was it ^G191 not ^G3756 heard ^G191 that ^G3754 any man ^G5100 opened ^G455 the eyes ^G3788 of one that was born ^G1080 blind. ^G5185

³³ If ^G1508 this man ^G3778 were ^G2258 not ^G1508 of ^G3844 God, ^G2316 he could ^{G1410 G3756} do ^G4160 nothing. ^G3762

³⁴ They answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Thou ^G4771 wast ^G1080 altogether ^G3650 born ^G1080 in ^G1722 sins, ^G266 and ^G2532 dost thou ^G4771 teach ^G1321 us? ^G2248 And ^G2532 they cast ^G1544 him ^G846 out. ^G1854

³⁵ Jesus ^G2424 heard ^G191 that ^G3754 they had cast ^G1544 him ^G846 out; ^G1854 and ^G2532 when he had found ^G2147 him, ^G846 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Dost ^G4100 thou ^G4771 believe ^G4100 on ^G1519 the Son ^G5207 of God? ^G2316

³⁶ He ^G1565 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Who ^G5101 is he, ^G2076 Lord, ^G2962 that ^G2443 I might believe ^G4100 on ^G1519 him? ^G846

³⁷ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Thou hast ^G3708 both ^G2532 seen ^G3708 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 it is ^G2076 he ^G1565 that talketh ^G2980 with ^G3326 thee. ^G4675

³⁸ And ^G1161 he said, ^G5346 Lord, ^G2962 I believe. ^G4100 And ^G2532 he worshipped ^G4352 him. ^G846

³⁹ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 For ^G1519 judgment ^G2917 I ^G1473 am come ^G2064 into ^G1519 this ^G5126 world, ^G2889 that ^G2443 they which see ^G991 not ^G3361 might see; ^G991 and ^G2532 that they which see ^G991 might be made ^G1096 blind. ^G5185

⁴⁰ And ^G2532 some of ^G1537 the Pharisees ^G5330 which ^G3588 were ^G5607 with ^G3326 him ^G846 heard ^G191 these words, ^G5023 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Are ^{G3361 G2070} we ^G2249 blind ^G5185 also? ^G2532

⁴¹ Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 If ^G1487 ye were ^G2258 blind, ^G5185 ye should ^G302 have ^G2192 no ^G3756 sin: ^G266 but ^G1161 now ^G3568 ye say, ^{G3004 G3754} We see; ^G991 therefore ^G3767 your ^G5216 sin ^G266 remaineth. ^G3306

¹ And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

² And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

³ Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

⁴ We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

⁵ When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

⁶ When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

⁷ and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

⁸ The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

⁹ Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am `he'.

¹⁰ They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

¹¹ He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

¹² And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

¹³ They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

¹⁴ Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵ Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ 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 that had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

²⁰ His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

²¹ but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

²² These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him `to be' Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶ They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

²⁸ And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and `yet' he opened mine eyes.

³¹ We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

⁴⁰ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

⁴¹ Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

---

¹ And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

² and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

³ Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

⁴ it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

⁵ when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'

⁶ These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

⁷ `Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

⁸ the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

⁹ others said -- `This is he;' and others -- `He is like to him;' he himself said, -- `I am `he'.'

¹⁰ They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'

¹¹ he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

¹² they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he saith, `I have not known.'

¹³ They bring him to the Pharisees who once `was' blind,

¹⁴ and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵ Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'

¹⁶ Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?'

¹⁸ and he said -- `He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

¹⁹ and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

²⁰ His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²¹ and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

²² These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

²³ because of this his parents said -- `He is of age, ask him.'

²⁴ They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

²⁵ he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

²⁶ And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'

²⁷ He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'

²⁸ They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;

²⁹ we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

³¹ and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

³² from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

³³ if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

³⁴ They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

³⁶ he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

³⁸ and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'

⁴⁰ And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?'

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

¹ And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.

² And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?

³ Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

⁴ I must work the works of him that has 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.

⁶ Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

⁷ And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

⁸ The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

⁹ Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I.

¹⁰ They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

¹¹ He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

¹² They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

¹³ They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

¹⁴ Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

¹⁵ The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

¹⁶ Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he 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;

²¹ but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

²³ On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.

²⁴ They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

²⁵ He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.

²⁶ And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

²⁸ They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

³¹ [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

³² Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

³³ If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

³⁸ And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

⁴⁰ And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.

¹ 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 was born blind?"

³ Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

⁶ 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 away, washed, and came back seeing.

⁸ The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?"

⁹ Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."

¹⁰ They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"

¹¹ 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 they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."

¹³ They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

¹⁴ It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

¹⁵ 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 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

¹⁷ 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 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 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;

²¹ but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."

²² 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 his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."

²⁴ 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 therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

²⁶ They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

²⁷ He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't also want to become his disciples, do you?"

²⁸ 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 don't know where he comes from."

³⁰ The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

³² Since the world began 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."

³⁴ 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, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

³⁶ He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"

³⁷ Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."

³⁸ He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

⁴⁰ 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.

¹ And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.

² And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

³ Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

⁴ While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

⁶ Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,

⁷ And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

⁸ Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

⁹ Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

¹⁰ So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?

¹¹ His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

¹² And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

¹³ They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

¹⁴ Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.

¹⁵ So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

¹⁷ Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

¹⁹ And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

²⁰ In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

²¹ But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

²² They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

²³ That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

²⁴ So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

²⁶ Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

²⁷ His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

²⁸ And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

³⁰ The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

³¹ We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

³² In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

³³ If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

³⁴ Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

³⁵ It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

³⁶ He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

³⁷ Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

³⁹ And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

⁴⁰ These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.
