1 N ow as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.

And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

2 A nd His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

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

Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested 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.

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

5 A s long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'

6 W hen 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.

These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

7 A nd He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

8 T herefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

9 S ome said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am he. ”

others said -- `This is he;' and others -- `He is like to him;' he himself said, -- `I am.'

10 T herefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'

11 H e 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.”

he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

12 T hen they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.” The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man

they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he saith, `I have not known.'

13 T hey brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

They bring him to the Pharisees who once blind,

14 N ow it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

15 T hen 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.”

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'

16 T herefore 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.

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

17 T hey said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

They said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?'

18 B ut 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.

and he said -- `He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

19 A nd they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

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

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

21 b ut 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.”

and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

22 H is 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.

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

23 T herefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

because of this his parents said -- `He is of age, ask him.'

24 S o they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner.”

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

25 H e 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.”

he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

26 T hen they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'

27 H e 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?”

He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'

28 T hen they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;

29 W e know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from.”

we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

30 T he 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!

The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

31 N ow we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

32 S ince the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

33 I f this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

34 T hey answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they cast him out. True Vision and True Blindness

They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

35 J esus 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?”

Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

36 H e answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

37 A nd Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”

And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

38 T hen he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.

and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

39 A nd 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.”

And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'

40 T hen some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?'

41 J esus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.
