1And
as Jesus passed
by, he saw a
man which
was blind
from his birth.
2And
his
disciples
asked him,
saying,
Master, who
did sin,
this man, or
his parents,
that he was
born blind?
3Jesus
answered, Neither
hath this
man sinned,
nor his
parents: but
that the
works of God
should be
made
manifest in
him.
4I
must work
the works of
him that
sent me,
while it is
day: the
night
cometh, when
no man can
work.
5As
long as I am
in the
world, I am
the light of
the world.
6When
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,
7And
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.
8The
neighbours
therefore,
and they
which before
had seen him
that he was
blind, said,
Is not this
he that sat
and begged?
9Some
said, This
is he:
others said,
He is like
him: but he
said, I am he.
10Therefore
said they
unto him,
How were
thine eyes
opened?
11He
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.
12Then
said they
unto him,
Where is he?
He said, I
know not.
13They
brought to
the
Pharisees
him that
aforetime
was blind.
14And
it was the
sabbath day
when Jesus
made the
clay, and
opened his
eyes.
15Then
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.
16Therefore
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.
17They
say unto the
blind man
again, What
sayest thou
of him, that
he hath
opened thine
eyes? He
said, He is
a prophet.
18But
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.
19And
they asked
them,
saying, Is
this your
son, who ye
say was born
blind? how
then doth he
now see?
20His
parents
answered
them and
said, We
know that
this is our
son, and
that he was
born blind:
21But
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.
22These 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.
23Therefore
said his
parents, He
is of age;
ask him.
24Then
again called
they the man
that was
blind, and
said unto
him, Give
God the
praise: we
know that
this man is
a sinner.
25He
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.
26Then
said they to
him again,
What did he
to thee? how
opened he
thine eyes?
27He
answered
them, I have
told you
already, and
ye did not
hear:
wherefore
would ye
hear it again?
will ye also
be his
disciples?
28Then
they reviled
him, and
said, Thou
art his
disciple;
but we are
Moses'
disciples.
29We
know that
God spake
unto Moses: as
for this fellow,
we know not
from whence
he is.
30The
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.
31Now
we know that
God heareth
not sinners:
but if any
man be a
worshipper
of God, and
doeth his
will, him he
heareth.
32Since
the world
began was it
not heard
that any man
opened the
eyes of one
that was
born blind.
33If
this man
were not of
God, he
could do
nothing.
34They
answered and
said unto
him, Thou
wast
altogether
born in
sins, and
dost thou
teach us?
And they
cast him
out.
35Jesus
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?
36He
answered and
said, Who is
he, Lord,
that I might
believe on
him?
37And
Jesus said
unto him, Thou
hast both
seen him,
and it is he
that talketh
with thee.
38And
he said,
Lord, I
believe. And
he
worshipped
him.
39And
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.
40And some of
the
Pharisees
which were
with him
heard these
words, and
said unto
him, Are we
blind also?
41Jesus
said unto
them, If
ye were
blind, ye
should have
no sin: but
now ye say,
We see;
therefore
your sin
remaineth.
