1 A nd passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

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

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 J esus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

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

4 i t 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: --

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 w hen I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'

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

6 T hese 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,

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

and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

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

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

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

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 were thine eyes opened?'

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

11 h e 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;'

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine 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 that one?' he saith, `I have not known.'

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

13 T hey bring him to the Pharisees who once blind,

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

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

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

15 A gain, 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.'

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

16 O f 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.

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

17 T hey said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?'

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

18 a nd 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,

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

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

20 H is parents answered them and said, `We have known 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 a nd 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.'

but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

22 T hese 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;

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

23 b ecause of this his parents said -- `He is of age, ask him.'

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

24 T hey 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;'

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

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

He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

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

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

27 H e 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?'

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

28 T hey reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.

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

We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

30 T he 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!

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

31 a nd 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;

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

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

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

33 i f this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

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

34 T hey answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

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

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

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

And some of the Pharisees which 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 were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

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