King James Version
Now
as Jesus was
passing
by, He saw a man blind from birth ,
And
as Jesus passed
by, he saw a man which
was
blind from his
birth .
and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi
, who sinned
, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ”
And his disciples asked him, saying
, Master,
who did
sin
, this man ,
or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, “
Neither this man nor his parents sinned,
but this
happened
so
that the works of God would
be displayed
in him.
Jesus answered, Neither hath
this man sinned,
nor his parents :
but that the works of God should
be made
manifest
in him.
While
it
is
daytime,
we
must do
the works of Him who
sent Me .
Night
is coming
, when no one
can work.
I
must work
the works of him that
sent me ,
while
it
is day:
the
night
cometh
, when no man
can work.
While
I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ”
As
long
as
I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
When Jesus
had said
this
, He spit
on the ground, made some
mud
, and applied
it
to
the man’s
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,
Then
He
told
him, “
Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam ”
(which means
“
Sent ”)
. So
the
man
went and washed, and came back
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.
At
this
, his
neighbors
and those
who
had formerly
seen him begging
began
to
ask
, “Isn’t
this the
man
who
used
to
sit
and beg
? ”
The
neighbours
therefore
, and they
which
before
had seen him that
he
was
blind
, said,
Is
not
this he
that
sat
and begged
?
Some claimed
that
he
was
, but
others said, “No,
he just
looks
like him .”
But the
man
kept
saying
, “
I am the
one
. ”
Some said
, This
is
he:
others said, He is
like him :
but he
said
, I am he
.
“
How then
were your
eyes opened? ”
they
asked.
Therefore
said
they
unto
him,
How were thine
eyes opened?
He answered, “The
man they
call
Jesus made some
mud
and anointed my
eyes, and He
told
me to
go to Siloam and wash .
So
I went and washed and received my
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.
“
Where is He? ”
they
asked.
“
I do
not
know ,”
he
answered
.
Then
said
they
unto
him,
Where is he? He
said,
I know not
.
They brought to the Pharisees the
man
who
had
been
blind.
They brought to the Pharisees him
that
aforetime
was
blind.
Now
the day on
which
Jesus had
made the mud
and opened his eyes was
a
Sabbath
.
And
it
was
the sabbath
day when
Jesus made the clay,
and opened his eyes.
So
the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The
man
answered
, “
He put mud
on
my
eyes, and I washed, and now
I
can
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.
Because
of
this,
some of the Pharisees said
, “
This man is not from
God, for
He does
not keep
the Sabbath. ”
But
others said, “
How can a sinful
man perform
such signs
? ”
And there was 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.
So
once
again
they asked
the man
who
had
been
blind, “
What do
you
say
about
Him, since
it
was
your
eyes
He opened? ”
“
He is a prophet ,”
the
man
replied
.
They say
unto
the blind man
again
, What sayest
thou
of
him, that
he hath
opened thine
eyes
? He said,
He
is a prophet.
The Jews still
did not believe that the
man
had been blind and had
received his sight until they summoned
his
parents
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.
and asked, “
Is this your son, the
one
you
say was born blind? So
how is
it
that
he can
now see? ”
And they
asked them
, saying,
Is this your son, who
ye
say was born blind? how then
doth
he now see?
His parents answered, “
We know he
is our son, and we
know
he was born blind .
His parents answered them
and
said
, We know that
this
is our son, and that
he was born blind :
But how
he can
now see
or who opened his eyes, we do
not
know .
Ask him .
He is
old
enough
to
speak for 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.
His parents said
this
because they were
afraid
of
the Jews .
For the Jews had already determined
that anyone
who
confessed
Jesus
as
the
Christ would
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.
That
was
why
his parents said
, “
He is old
enough.
Ask him. ”
Therefore
said
his parents, He is of
age;
ask him.
So
a
second
time
they
called for
the man who
had
been
blind and said, “
Give glory
to
God !
We know 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.
He answered, “
Whether He is
a sinner I do
not
know .
There
is
one thing I do
know :
I was blind, but
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 .
“
What did He do
to you
? ”
they
asked.
“
How did
He open
your
eyes? ”
Then
said
they
to
him
again,
What did he to thee
? how opened
he thine
eyes?
He replied
, “
I already
told you, 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 have
told you already
, and ye
did not hear :
wherefore
would
ye
hear
it again? will
ye
also be
his disciples?
Then they heaped
insults
on
him and said, “You
are
His disciple; we are disciples
of
Moses.
Then they reviled
him ,
and said, Thou
art
his disciple; but
we are Moses '
disciples
.
We know that God spoke
to
Moses, but
we do
not
know where
this
man
is
from. ”
We know that God spake
unto
Moses :
as
for
this
fellow
, we know not
from whence
he
is
.
“That
is
remarkable
indeed!”
the man said .
“You
do
not
know where
He is from
, and yet 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.
We know that God does
not listen
to
sinners ,
but He
does
listen
to
the
one
who
worships
Him
and does
His will.
Now
we know that God heareth
not sinners :
but if
any
man
be
a
worshipper
of
God,
and doeth
his will ,
him
he
heareth
.
Never
before
has
anyone
heard of
opening
the eyes of a
man
born blind.
Since
the
world
began
was
it
not
heard that
any
man
opened
the eyes of one
that
was
born blind.
If this man were not from
God, He could do no
such
thing
. ”
If this man were not of
God, he could do nothing
.
They replied
, “You
were
born in utter
sin
, and you
are
instructing
us? ”
And they threw
him out.
They answered
and
said
unto
him
, Thou
wast
altogether
born in sins
, and dost
thou
teach
us? And they cast
him out.
When
Jesus heard that they had thrown
him out ,
He found the
man
and
said, “Do
you
believe in
the Son of Man
? ”
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
?
“
Who is He, Sir?”
he
replied.
“Tell
me
so
that I may
believe in
Him .”
He
answered
and
said,
Who is he, Lord,
that I might
believe on
him ?
“You
have
already
seen Him, ”
Jesus
answered.
“He
is the
One
speaking
with you
. ”
And
Jesus
said
unto
him,
Thou
hast
both
seen him, and
it
is he
that
talketh
with thee
.
“
Lord, I believe ,”
he
said
. And he worshiped
Jesus
.
And
he
said,
Lord, I believe. And he worshipped
him
.
Then
Jesus declared
, “
For judgment I have
come into this world, so
that the
blind
may
see and those
who
see 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.
Some of the Pharisees who
were with Him heard this
, and they
asked
Him, “
Are we blind too
? ”
And
some of the Pharisees which
were with him heard these
words
, and said
unto
him, Are we blind also
?
“
If you
were blind, ”
Jesus
replied,
“you
would
not
be
guilty
of
sin .
But since
you
claim
you
can
see
, your guilt
remains
. ”
Jesus
said
unto
them,
If ye
were blind, ye
should
have
no
sin :
but now
ye
say
, We
see;
therefore
your sin
remaineth
.
