Berean Standard Bible
And
passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,
Now
as
Jesus
was
passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
and 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, “
Rabbi, who sinned
, this man
or his parents, that he was
born blind? ”
Jesus answered, `
Neither did
this one
sin
nor his parents, but that the works of God may
be manifested
in him ;
Jesus answered, “
Neither this man
nor his parents sinned
, but this
happened
so
that the works of God would
be displayed
in him .
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 :
--
While
it is
daytime,
we
must
do
the works of Him who sent Me .
Night is
coming
, when no one can
work .
when
I am in the world, I am a
light of the world. '
While
I am in the world, I am the
light of the world. ”
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,
When
Jesus
had
said
this
, He spit
on the ground, made some
mud
, and applied
it
to
the man’s
eyes .
`
Go away
, wash at
the pool of Siloam ,'
which is,
interpreted,
Sent. He
went away,
therefore,
and did
wash
, and came seeing ;
Then
He
told
him,
“
Go, wash in
the Pool of Siloam ”
(
which means
“
Sent ”)
. So
the
man
went and washed
, and came back
seeing .
the
neighbours,
therefore
, and those seeing
him before,
that
he
was
blind,
said
, `Is
not
this he
who is
sitting
and begging
? '
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
? ”
others
said
--
`This
is
he ;'
and
others --
`
He is
like to
him ;'
he
himself
said
, --
`
I am `he'
. '
Some
claimed
that
he was,
but
others said,
“No,
he just
looks
like him .”
But
the
man
kept
saying
, “
I am the
one
. ”
They
said,
therefore,
to
him,
`
How were thine
eyes opened? '
“
How then
were your
eyes opened? ”
they
asked.
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 ;'
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 .”
they
said,
therefore,
to
him,
`
Where is that
one?'
he saith,
`
I have
not known
. '
“
Where is He ?”
they
asked.
“
I do
not know,”
he
answered
.
They bring
him
to the Pharisees who once
`was'
blind ,
They brought
to the Pharisees the
man
who had
been
blind .
and
it
was
a
sabbath
when
Jesus made the clay,
and opened his eyes.
Now
the
day
on
which
Jesus had
made the mud
and opened his eyes was
a
Sabbath
.
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. '
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. ”
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.
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.
They said
to
the blind
man again
, `Thou
--
what dost
thou
say of
him --
that
he opened thine
eyes
? '
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.
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,
The Jews still
did not believe that the
man
had
been
blind and had
received
his
sight until
they summoned
his
parents
and they
asked them
, saying,
`
Is your son, of
whom
ye
say that
he
was born blind? how then
now
doth
he see? '
and asked, “
Is this
your son, the
one
you
say was born blind? So
how is
it
that
he can
now
see? ”
His parents answered them
and
said
, `
We have
known
that
this
is our son, and that
he was born blind ;
His parents answered, “
We know
he
is our son, and we
know
he was born blind .
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. '
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. ”
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 ;
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 .
because
of
this
his parents said --
`
He is of
age,
ask him. '
That
was
why
his parents said ,
“
He is old
enough.
Ask him. ”
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 ;'
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 .”
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 .'
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 !”
And
they
said
to
him
again,
`
What did he to thee
? how did he open thine
eyes? '
“
What did He do
to you
? ”
they
asked.
“
How did He open your
eyes? ”
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? '
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? ”
They reviled
him ,
therefore,
and said, `Thou
art
his disciple ,
and
we are Moses'
disciples ;
Then
they heaped
insults
on
him and said, “You
are
His disciple ;
we are disciples of
Moses.
we have
known
that God hath
spoken
to Moses, but this
one
--
we have
not known
whence
he
is. '
We know
that God spoke
to Moses, but we do
not know
where
this
man
is from
. ”
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 !
“That
is
remarkable
indeed!”
the man said .
“You
do
not know
where
He is from
, and yet
He opened my eyes .
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;
We know
that God does
not listen
to
sinners, but He
does
listen
to
the
one who
worships
Him
and does
His will .
from
the
age
it
was
not
heard ,
that
any
one
did
open
eyes of one
who
hath
been
born blind ;
Never
before
has
anyone
heard of
opening
the
eyes of a
man
born blind .
if this one
were not from God, he were
not
able
to
do anything
. '
If this man
were not from God, He could
do no
such
thing
. ”
They answered
and
said
to
him
, `In
sins
thou
wast
born altogether
, and thou
dost
teach
us !'
and they cast
him forth
without
.
They replied
, “You
were
born in
utter
sin
, and you
are
instructing
us ?”
And they threw
him out
.
Jesus heard that they cast
him
forth
without,
and
having
found
him, he said to
him
, `Dost
thou
believe in the Son of God
? '
When
Jesus heard that they had
thrown
him out
, He found
the
man
and
said, “Do
you
believe in the Son of Man
? ”
he
answered
and
said,
`
Who is he, sir ,
that I may believe in him ?'
“
Who is He, Sir ?”
he
replied.
“Tell
me
so
that I may believe in Him .”
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
`Thou
hast
both
seen him, and
he who
is speaking with thee
is
he;'
“You
have
already
seen Him, ”
Jesus
answered.
“
He is the
One
speaking with you.”
and
he
said
, `
I believe, sir,'
and bowed
before
him
.
“Lord
, I believe, ”
he
said.
And he
worshiped
Jesus
.
And
Jesus said
, `
For judgment I to
this world did
come
, that those
not
seeing
may see ,
and those seeing
may become blind. '
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
those
of the Pharisees who were with him heard these
things
, and they said
to
him, `
Are we also
blind? '
Some
of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this
, and they asked
Him, “
Are we blind too
? ”
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
.
“
If you
were blind, ”
Jesus
replied,
“you
would
not be
guilty
of
sin .
But since
you
claim
you
can
see, your guilt
remains
. ”
