Chapter 9

¹ AND Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:
² And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be 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, whilst 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 said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on his eyes,
⁷ And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore, and washed, and he came seeing.
⁸ The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.
⁹ But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he.
¹⁰ They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?
¹¹ He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe, and wash. And I went, I washed, and I see.
¹² And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.
¹³ They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.
¹⁴ Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
¹⁵ Again therefore the Pharisees asked him, how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
¹⁷ They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
¹⁸ The Jews then 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 you 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 how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.
²² These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
²³ Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.
²⁴ They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
²⁵ He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
²⁶ They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
²⁷ He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?
²⁸ They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.
³⁰ The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.
³¹ Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.
³² From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.
³³ Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.
³⁴ They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly 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 in the Son of God?
³⁶ He answered, and said: 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.
³⁸ And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.
³⁹ And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see; and they who see, may become blind.
⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?
⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.

Chapter 9

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.

¹ he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
² disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
³ answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
⁴ must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
⁵ I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
⁶ he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
⁷ said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
⁸ neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?"
⁹ were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
¹⁰ therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
¹¹ 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 they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
¹³ brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
¹⁴ was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
¹⁵ 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 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 they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
¹⁸ 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 asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
²⁰ parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
²¹ 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 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 his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
²⁴ 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 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 said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
²⁷ 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 insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
²⁹ know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."
³⁰ man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
³¹ 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 the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
³³ this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
³⁴ answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
³⁵ heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
³⁶ answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
³⁷ said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
³⁸ said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.
³⁹ 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 of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
⁴¹ said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.

Chapter 9

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.

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.

Chapter 9

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.
