And as Jesus passed by
, he saw
a man
which was blind
from
his birth
.
And his
disciples
asked
him
, saying
, Master
, who
did sin
, this man
, or
his
parents
, that
he was born
blind
?
Jesus answered
, Neither
hath
this man
sinned
, nor
his
parents
: but
that
the works
of God
should be made manifest
in
him
.
I must
work
the works
of him that sent
me
, while
it is
day
: the night
cometh
, when
no man
can
work
.
As long as I am
in
the world
, I am
the light
of the world
.
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
,
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
.
The neighbours therefore
, and
they which before
had seen
him
that
he was
blind
, said
, Is
not
this
he that sat
and
begged
?
Some said
,
This
is he
:
others
said ,
He is
like
him
: but he
said
,
I
am
he .
Therefore said they
unto him
, How
were
thine
eyes
opened
?
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
.
Then said they
unto him
, Where
is
he
? He said
, I know
not
.
They brought to
the Pharisees
him
that aforetime
was blind
.
And it was
the sabbath day
when
Jesus
made
the clay
, and
opened
his
eyes
.
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
.
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
.
They say unto the blind man
again
, What
sayest
thou
of
him
, that
he hath opened
thine
eyes
? He said
,
He is
a prophet
.
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 they asked
them
, saying
, Is
this
your
son
, who
ye
say
was born
blind
? how
then
doth he
now
see
?
His parents
answered
them
and
said
, We know
that
this
is
our
son
, and
that
he was born
blind
:
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
.
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
.
Therefore said
his
parents
,
He is
of age
; ask
him
.
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
and
said
, Whether
he be
a sinner
or no , I know
not
: one thing
I know
, that
, whereas I was
blind
, now
I see
.
Then said they
to him
again
, What
did he
to thee
? how
opened he
thine
eyes
?
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 reviled
him
, and
said
, Thou
art
his
disciple
; but
we
are
Moses
' disciples
.
We know
that
God
spake
unto Moses
: as for this
fellow , we know
not
from whence
he is
.
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
.
Now we know
that
God
heareth
not
sinners
: but
if
any man
be
a worshipper of God
, and
doeth
his
will
, him
he heareth
.
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
of
God
, he could
do
nothing
.
They answered and
said
unto him
, Thou
wast
altogether
born
in
sins
, and
dost thou
teach
us
? And
they cast
him
out
.
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
?
He answered
and
said
, Who
is he
, Lord
, that
I might believe
on
him
?
And Jesus
said
unto him
, Thou hast
both
seen
him
, and
it is
he
that talketh
with
thee
.
And he said
, Lord
, I believe
. And
he worshipped
him
.
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
.
And some of
the Pharisees
which
were
with
him
heard
these words
, and
said
unto him
, Are
we
blind
also
?
Jesus said
unto them
, If
ye were
blind
, ye should
have
no
sin
: but
now
ye say
,
We see
; therefore
your
sin
remaineth
.
