John 9

1 And Jesus, while passing by, saw a man blind from birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"
3 Jesus responded: "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God would be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no one is able to 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 he made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay over his eyes.
7 And he said to him: "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated as: one who has been sent). Therefore, he went away and washed, and he returned, seeing.
8 And so the bystanders and those who had seen him before, when he was a beggar, said, "Is this not the one who was sitting and begging?" Some said, "This is he."
9 But others said, "Certainly not, but he is similar to him." Yet truly, he himself said, "I am he."
10 Therefore, they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11 He responded: "That man who is called Jesus made clay, and he anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' And I went, and I washed, and I see."
12 And they said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 They brought the one who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Now it was the Sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Therefore, again the Pharisees questioned him as to how he had seen. And he said to them, "He placed clay over my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
16 And so certain Pharisees said: "This man, who does not keep the Sabbath, is not from God." But others said, "How could a sinful man accomplish these signs?" And there was a schism among them.
17 Therefore, they spoke again to the blind man, "What do you say about him who opened your eyes?" Then he said, "He is a Prophet."
18 Therefore, the Jews did not believe, about him, that he had been blind and had seen, until they called the parents of him who had seen.
19 And they questioned them, saying: "Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?"
20 His parents responded to them and said: "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 But how it is that he now sees, we do not know. And who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough. Let him speak for himself."
22 His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already conspired, so that if anyone were to confess him to be the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23 It was for this reason that his parents said: "He is old enough. Ask him."
24 Therefore, they again called the man who had been blind, and they said to him: "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
25 And so he said to them: "If he is a sinner, I do not know it. One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I see."
26 Then they said to him: "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 He answered them: "I have already told you, and you heard it. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?"
28 Therefore, they cursed him and said: "You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he is from."
30 The man responded and said to them: "Now in this is a wonder: that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 And we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, then he heeds him.
32 From ancient times, it has not been heard that anyone has opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33 Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing."
34 They responded and said to him, "You were born entirely in sins, and you would 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, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
36 He responded and said, "Who is he, Lord, so that I may believe in him?"
37 And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you."
38 And he said, "I believe, Lord." And falling prostrate, he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, "I came into this world in judgment, so that those who do not see, may see; and so that those who see, may become blind."
40 And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?"
41 Jesus said to them: "If you were blind, you would not have sin. Yet now you say, 'We see.' So your sin persists."

1And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. 2And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? 3Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, 7and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 8The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 10They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 11He 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. 12And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.
13They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15Again 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. 16Some 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 a division among them. 17They 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. 18The 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, 19and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21but 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. 22These 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. 23Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24So 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. 25He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 28And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 29We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 30The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. 31We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 32Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. 34They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 39And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind. 40Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 41Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
