| 1 | And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his 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 did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. |
| 4 | We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. |
| 5 | When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. |
| 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. |
| 31 | We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. |
| 32 | Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. |
| 33 | If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. |
| 34 | They answered and said unto 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 finding him, he said, 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 | Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. |
| 38 | And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. |
| 39 | And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind. |
| 40 | Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? |
| 41 | Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth. |
