John 9:1 |
And as He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. |
John 9:2 |
And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind? |
John 9:3 |
Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but [he was born so,] that the works of God might be manifested in him. |
John 9:4 |
We must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. |
John 9:5 |
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. |
John 9:6 |
When He had said this, He spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed his eyes with the clay, |
John 9:7 |
And He said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is interpreted, Sent). He went therefore and washed and came [away] seeing. |
John 9:8 |
The neighbors then and those who previously saw him as a beggar said, Is not this the one who used to sit and beg? |
John 9:9 |
Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [the one.] |
John 9:10 |
They said then to him, How then were your eyes opened? |
John 9:11 |
He answered, The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the [pool] of Siloam and wash. I went therefore and washed, and I received my sight. |
John 9:12 |
And they said to him, Where is He? He said, I do not know. |
John 9:13 |
They brought him who was once blind to the Pharisees. |
John 9:14 |
Now it was the Sabbath, on which day Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. |
John 9:15 |
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see. |
John 9:16 |
Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. But others said, How can a man [who is] a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. |
John 9:17 |
Then they said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him, in that He opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. |
John 9:18 |
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 who had received his sight |
John 9:19 |
And asked them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see? |
John 9:20 |
Then his parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. |
John 9:21 |
But how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age; he will speak for himself. |
John 9:22 |
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him [to be the] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. |
John 9:23 |
Because of this his parents said, He is of age; question him. |
John 9:24 |
Therefore a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. |
John 9:25 |
Then he answered, Whether [or not] He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see. |
John 9:26 |
They said then to him, What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes? |
John 9:27 |
He answered them, I told you already and you did not hear. Why do you want to hear [it] again? Do you also want to become His disciples? |
John 9:28 |
And they reviled him and said, You are His disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. |
John 9:29 |
We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from. |
John 9:30 |
The man answered and said to them, Why here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and [yet] He opened my eyes! |
John 9:31 |
We know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. |
John 9:32 |
Since time began it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one born blind. |
John 9:33 |
If this man were not from God, He could do nothing. |
John 9:34 |
They answered and said to him, You were wholly born in sins, and you are teaching us? And they cast him out. |
John 9:35 |
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and He found him and said, Do you believe into the Son of God? |
John 9:36 |
He answered and said, And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him? |
John 9:37 |
Jesus said to him, You have both seen Him, and He is the One speaking with you. |
John 9:38 |
And he said, Lord, I believe; and he worshipped Him. |
John 9:39 |
And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind. |
John 9:40 |
[Some] of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind also, are we? |
John 9:41 |
Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now [that] you say, We see; your sin remains. |
