As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. |
2
|
His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" |
3
|
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might 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
|
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." |
6
|
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man\'s eyes with the mud, |
7
|
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. |
8
|
The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn\'t this he who sat and begged?" |
9
|
Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he." |
10
|
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?" |
11
|
He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, \'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.\' So I went away and washed, and I received sight." |
12
|
Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don\'t know." |
13
|
They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. |
14
|
It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. |
15
|
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see." |
16
|
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn\'t keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them. |
17
|
Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" 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 who had received his sight, |
19
|
and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" |
20
|
His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; |
21
|
but how he now sees, we don\'t know; or who opened his eyes, we don\'t 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 already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. |
23
|
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him." |
24
|
So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner." |
25
|
He therefore answered, "I don\'t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see." |
26
|
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 didn\'t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don\'t also want to become his disciples, do you?" |
28
|
They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. |
29
|
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don\'t know where he comes from." |
30
|
The man answered them, "How amazing! You don\'t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. |
31
|
We know that God doesn\'t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. |
32
|
Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. |
33
|
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." |
34
|
They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out. |
35
|
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" |
36
|
He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?" |
37
|
Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you." |
38
|
He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him. |
39
|
Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don\'t see may see; and that those who see may become blind." |
40
|
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?" |
41
|
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, \'We see.\' Therefore your sin remains. |
