John 9 — GNB
9Verse 1And as he was passing along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.Verse 2And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?Verse 3Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.Verse 4We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night is coming, when no one can work.Verse 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.Verse 6Having thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,Verse 7and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; (which is, when translated, Sent.) He went away therefore, and washed and came seeing.Verse 8The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him as a beggar, said, Is not this he that sits and begs?Verse 9Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.Verse 10They said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened?Verse 11He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash. I went therefore and washed, and received sight.Verse 12And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know.Verse 13They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind.Verse 14And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath.Verse 15Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and I see.Verse 16Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs. And there was a division among them.Verse 17They say therefore to the blind man again, What dost thou say of him for having opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.Verse 18The Jews therefore 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.Verse 19And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?Verse 20His parents, answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;Verse 21but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask him, he is of age; he will speak for himself.Verse 22This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.Verse 23Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.Verse 24They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.Verse 25He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.Verse 26They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?Verse 27He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become his disciples?Verse 28They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.Verse 29We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.Verse 30The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes.Verse 31We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.Verse 32Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.Verse 33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.Verse 34They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.Verse 35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man?Verse 36He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?Verse 37Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.Verse 38And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.Verse 39And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not might see, and that they who see might become blind.Verse 40Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we also blind?Verse 41Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see. Your sin remaineth.
