And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 J esus answered, Neither has this sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 H aving said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay

7 A nd he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). Then he went and washed and came back seeing.

8 T he neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

¶ The neighbours, therefore, and those who before had seen him that he was blind said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 S ome said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.

Some said, This is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.

10 T hey said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

Then they said unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 H e answered, A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 T hey said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

13 T hey bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand had been blind.

14 N ow it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

And it was the sabbath day when Jesus had made the clay and had opened his eyes.

15 T he Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and do see.

16 S ome of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

17 T hey say therefore again to the blind, What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

They said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that has opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

18 T he Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

19 A nd they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then does he now see?

20 H is parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind;

21 b ut how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.

but by what means 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 H is parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

These words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 O n this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.

Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.

24 T hey called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

Then they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

25 H e answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind, now I see.

He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.

26 A nd they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

27 H e answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear? Do ye also desire to be his disciples?

28 T hey railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Then they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 W e know that God spoke to Moses; but this, we know not whence he is.

We know that God spoke unto Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where he is from.

30 T he man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

The man answered and said unto them, Indeed this is a marvellous thing that ye do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.

31 w e know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

Now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone should fear God and do his will, him he will hear.

32 S ince time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

Since the world began it has not been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

34 T hey answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 J esus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

¶ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe in the Son of God?

36 H e answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?

37 A nd Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talks with thee.

38 A nd he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

39 A nd Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see might see and that those who see might be blinded.

40 A nd of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?

And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?

41 J esus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now because ye say, We see, therefore your sin abides.
