Now as [Jesus] passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. |
2
|
And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" |
3
|
Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. |
4
|
"I must work the works of Him who 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
|
When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. |
7
|
And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. |
8
|
Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?" |
9
|
Some said, "This is he." Others [said,] "He is like him." He said, "I am [he."] |
10
|
Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" |
11
|
He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight." |
12
|
Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know." |
13
|
They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. |
14
|
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. |
15
|
Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see." |
16
|
Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them. |
17
|
They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." |
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 who had received his sight. |
19
|
And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say 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 by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself." |
22
|
His parents said these [things] because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed [that] He [was] Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. |
23
|
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him." |
24
|
So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner." |
25
|
He answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner [or not] I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see." |
26
|
Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?" |
27
|
He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear [it] again? Do you also want to become His disciples?" |
28
|
Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. |
29
|
"We know that God spoke to Moses; [as for] this [fellow,] we do not know where He is from." |
30
|
The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! |
31
|
"Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. |
32
|
"Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. |
33
|
"If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing." |
34
|
They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching 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 answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" |
37
|
And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." |
38
|
Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him. |
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 be made blind." |
40
|
Then [some] of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?" |
41
|
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains. |
