John

9 1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.

9 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

9 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

9 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

9 5 As long as 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 he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

9 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.

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

9 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

9 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.

9 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

9 13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

9 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

9 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.

9 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.

9 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.

9 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.

9 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

9 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

9 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.

9 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.

9 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

9 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.

9 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.

9 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

9 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?

9 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.

9 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow,] we know not from whence he is.

9 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.

9 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.

9 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

9 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

9 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

9 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?

9 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

9 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

9 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

9 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.

9 40 And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

9 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
