1
And passing··by◦, He saw◦ a man 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 has this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4
I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night comes, when no one can work.
5
While 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 of the spittle, and He dabbed* the clay upon the eyes of the blind man,
7
and said◦ to him, Go◦, wash in◦ the pool of Siloam, which is, being··translated, Sent◦. He therefore went his way and washed, and came, seeing▫.
8
The neighbors◦, therefore, and those beholding him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he who was sitting and begging?
9
Some said, It is he; but◦ others, He is like him. He said, I am he.
10
Then they said to him, How were thine eyes opened?
11
He▵ answered and said◦, A Man called▵ Jesus made clay, and dabbed it on my eyes, and said◦ to me, Go··thy··way to◦ the pool of Siloam and wash. And◦ I went··away◦ and washed, and received··sight.
12
Then◦ they said◦ to him, Where is He? He▵ says, I know◦ not.
13
They bring◦ to the Pharisees him who once was blind.
14
And◦ it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15
Then again the Pharisees also asked◦ him how he had received··sight. And◦ he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see▫.
16
Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God, because He keeps not the Sabbath. Others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a schism among them.
17
They say again to the blind man, What sayest thou of Him, that He has opened thine eyes? And◦ he said, He is a prophet.
18
Then◦ the Jews did not believe concerning him that he used··to··be blind, and received··sight, until they called◦ the parents of him who had received··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◦ how he now sees▫ we know◦ not; or who◦ has opened his eyes, we know◦ not; he is of age*, ask◦ him; he shall speak for▵ himself.
22
His parents said◦ these··things, because they feared the Jews; for◦ the Jews had already put··together an agreement that◦, if anyone should profess Him to be the Christ, he should be◦ put··out··of··the··synagogue.
23
On··account··of this his parents said◦, He is of age*, ask◦ him.
24
Then◦ 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
Then◦ he▵ answered, and said◦, Whether He be a sinner, I know◦ not; one thing I know◦, that having··been blind, I now◦ see▫.
26
But◦ they said to him again, What did He to thee? How opened He thine eyes?
27
He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear; why do you will to hear it again? do you also will to become His disciples?
28
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art His disciple, but◦ we are disciples of Moses.
29
We know◦ that God spoke to Moses; but◦ as for this man, we know◦ not whence He is.
30
The man answered, and said◦ to them, Indeed◦, this is something to marvel at, that you know◦ not whence He is, and He has opened my eyes.
31
And◦ we know◦ that God hears not sinners; but if anyone be a worshiper··of··God, and do His will, him He hears.
32
From◦ eternity it was not heard that anyone opened the eyes of one who was··born blind.
33
If He was not with God, He could do nothing.
34
They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, says to him, Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
36
He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe in Him?
37
And◦ Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen▵ Him, and it is He who speaks with thee.
38
And◦ he declared◦, I believe, Lord; and he worshiped Him.
39
And Jesus said◦, For judgment◦ I came into this world, that◦ they who see▫ not◦ may see▫, and that they who see▫ may become blind.
40
And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, Are we blind also?
41
Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but◦ now you say, We see▫; then your sin remains.
