| 1 | And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. |
| 2 | And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, 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. |
| 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 spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, |
| 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. |
| 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 | Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. |
| 10 | Therefore they said to him, How were thy 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. |
| 12 | Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not. |
| 13 | They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind. |
| 14 | And it was the sabbath 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 to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 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. |
| 23 | Therefore said his parents, 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. |
| 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. |
| 26 | Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy 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? |
| 28 | Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses. |
| 29 | We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this man, we know not whence he is. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 32 | Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. |
| 33 | 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. |
| 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? |
| 36 | He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? |
| 37 | And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. |
| 38 | And 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. |
| 40 | And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also? |
| 41 | Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. |
