9:1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 9:4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. 9:5 When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, 9:7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 9:8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw him previously, that he was a beggar, said, Isn't this he who sat and begged? 9:9 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he]. 9:10 They said therefore to him, How then were your eyes opened? 9:11 He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight. 9:12 And they said to him, Where is he? He says, I don't know. 9:13 They bring to the Pharisees him who previously was blind. 9:14 Now it was the Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 9:15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see. 9:16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath. But others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. 9:17 They say therefore to the blind man again, What do you say of him, in that he opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. 9:18 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, 9:19 and asked them, saying, Is this your+ son, who you+ say was born blind? How then does he now see? 9:20 His parents therefore answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 9:21 but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know: ask him; he is of age; he will speak for himself. 9:22 These things his parents said, 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. 9:23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him. 9:24 So they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. 9:25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I don't know: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 9:26 They said therefore to him, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes? 9:27 He answered them, I told you+ even now, and you+ did not hear; why do you+ want to hear it again? Do you+ also want to become his disciples? 9:28 And they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 9:29 We know that God has spoken to Moses: but as for this man, we don't know where he is from. 9:30 The man answered and said to them, Therefore, in this is the marvel, that you+ don't know where he is from, and [yet] he opened my eyes. 9:31 We know that God does not hear sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears. 9:32 Never was it heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 9:33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. 9:34 They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out. 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Do you believe in the Son of Man? 9:36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 9:37 Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you. 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him. 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind. 9:40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we also blind? 9:41 Jesus said to them, If you+ were blind, you+ would have no sin: but now you+ say, We see: your+ sin stays. |
