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

And as he passed by, he saw a man 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, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be 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 did this man sin, 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: --

We 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.'

When 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 anointed his eyes 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 away 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 neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, 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.'

Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

10 T hey said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'

They said therefore unto him, How then 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, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

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

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

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

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

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

Now it was the sabbath on the 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.'

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I 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.

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was 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 therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And 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,

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 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 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 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 how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; 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 things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be 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;'

So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: 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 therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, 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?'

They said therefore unto him, 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 told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

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

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

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 hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not 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 the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he 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;

We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do 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 it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

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

If this man were not from 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 finding him, he said, 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, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

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

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh 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 came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

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

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

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 would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
