| 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. |
