John 9

1And as he passed by, he sawG3708 a manG444 blindG5185 from his birth. 2And his disciplesG3101 askedG2065 him, sayingG3004, RabbiG4461, who sinnedG264, this manG3778, or his parentsG1118, that he should be bornG1080 blindG5185? 3JesusG2424 answeredG611, Neither did this manG3778 sinG264, nor his parentsG1118: but that the worksG2041 of GodG2316 should be madeG5319 manifestG5319 in him. 4We must workG2041 the worksG2041 of him that sentG3992 me, while it isG1510 dayG2250: the nightG3571 cometh, whenG3753 no man can workG2041. 5WhenG3752 I amG1510 in the worldG2889, I amG1510 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. 6When he had thus spoken, he spatG4429 on the groundG5476, and madeG4160 clayG4081 of the spittle, and anointed his eyesG3788 with the clayG4081, 7and saidG3004 unto him, GoG5217, washG3538 in the poolG2861 of SiloamG4611 (which is by interpretation, SentG649). He wentG565 awayG565 thereforeG3767, and washedG3538, and cameG2064 seeingG991. 8The neighbors thereforeG3767, and they that sawG2334 him aforetime, that he wasG1510 a beggar, saidG3004, IsG1510 not this he that satG2521 and begged? 9OthersG243 saidG3004, It isG1510 he: othersG243 saidG3004, No, but he isG1510 like him. He saidG3004, I amG1510 he. 10They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto him, HowG4459 thenG3767 were thine eyesG3788 openedG455? 11He answeredG611, The manG444 that is called JesusG2424 madeG4160 clayG4081, and anointed mineG1473 eyesG3788, and saidG3004 unto me, GoG5217 to SiloamG4611, and washG3538: so I wentG565 awayG565 and washedG3538, and I receivedG308 sightG308. 12And they saidG3004 unto him, WhereG4226 isG1510 he? He saith, I know not.

13They bringG71 to the PhariseesG5330 him that aforetime was blindG5185. 14NowG1161 it wasG1510 the sabbathG4521 on the dayG2250 when JesusG2424 madeG4160 the clayG4081, and openedG455 his eyesG3788. 15AgainG3825 thereforeG3767 the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 askedG2065 him howG4459 he receivedG308 his sightG308. And he saidG3004 unto them, He putG2007 clayG4081 upon mineG1473 eyesG3788, and I washedG3538, and I seeG991. 16Some thereforeG3767 of the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004, This manG444 isG1510 not from GodG2316, because he keepeth not the sabbathG4521. But othersG243 saidG3004, HowG4459 can a manG444 that isG1510 a sinnerG268 do suchG5108 signsG4592? And there wasG1510 a divisionG4978 among them. 17They sayG3004 thereforeG3767 unto the blindG5185 manG5185 againG3825, What sayest thou of him, in that he openedG455 thine eyesG3788? And he saidG3004, He isG1510 a prophetG4396. 18The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 did not believeG4100 concerningG4012 him, that he had beenG1510 blindG5185, and had receivedG308 his sightG308, until they calledG5455 the parentsG1118 of him that had receivedG308 his sightG308, 19and askedG2065 them, sayingG3004, IsG1510 this your sonG5207, who ye sayG3004 wasG1510 bornG1080 blindG5185? howG4459 then doth he now seeG991? 20His parentsG1118 answeredG611 and saidG3004, We know that this isG1510 our sonG5207, and that he wasG1510 bornG1080 blindG5185: 21but howG4459 he nowG1161 seeth, we know not; or who openedG455 his eyesG3788, we know not: askG2065 him; he is of ageG2244; he shall speakG2980 for himself. 22These thingsG3778 saidG3004 his parentsG1118, because they fearedG5399 the JewsG2453: for the JewsG2453 had agreed alreadyG2235, that if any manG3778 should confessG3670 him to be ChristG5547, he should be put out of the synagogueG656. 23Therefore saidG3004 his parentsG1118, He is of ageG2244; askG1905 him. 24So they called a secondG1208 timeG1208 the manG444 that wasG1510 blindG5185, and saidG3004 unto him, GiveG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316: we know that this manG444 isG1510 a sinnerG268. 25He thereforeG3767 answeredG611, Whether he isG1510 a sinnerG268, I know not: oneG1520 thingG1520 I know, that, whereas I wasG1510 blindG5185, nowG737 I seeG991. 26They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto him, What did he to thee? howG4459 openedG455 he thine eyesG3788? 27He answeredG611 them, I toldG3004 you evenG2532 now, and ye did not hearG191; wherefore would ye hearG191 it againG3825? would ye alsoG2532 becomeG1096 his disciplesG3101? 28And they reviled him, and saidG3004, Thou art his discipleG3101; but we areG1510 disciplesG3101 of MosesG3475. 29We know that GodG2316 hath spokenG2980 unto MosesG3475: but as for this manG3778, we know not whence he isG1510. 30The manG444 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Why, herein isG1510 the marvel, that ye know not whence he isG1510, and yet he openedG455 mineG1473 eyesG3788. 31We know that GodG2316 heareth not sinnersG268: but if any manG3778 beG1510 a worshipper of GodG2316, and do his will, him he heareth. 32Since the world began it was never heardG191 that any oneG5100 openedG455 the eyesG3788 of a man bornG1080 blindG5185. 33If this manG3778 wereG1510 not from GodG2316, he could do nothing. 34They answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Thou wast altogether bornG1080 in sinsG266, and dost thou teachG1321 us? And they castG1544 him out.

35JesusG2424 heardG191 that they had castG1544 him out; and findingG2147 him, he saidG3004, Dost thou believeG4100 on the SonG5207 of God? 36He answeredG611 and saidG3004, And who isG1510 he, LordG2962, that I may believeG4100 on him? 37JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, Thou hast both seenG3708 him, and he it isG1510 that speaketh with thee. 38And he saidG5346, LordG2962, I believeG4100. And he worshipped him. 39And JesusG2424 saidG3004, For judgmentG2917 cameG2064 I into this worldG2889, that they that seeG991 not may seeG991; and that they that seeG991 may becomeG1096 blindG5185. 40Those of the PhariseesG5330 who wereG1510 with him heardG191 these things, and saidG3004 unto him, AreG1510 we alsoG2532 blindG5185? 41JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, If ye wereG1510 blindG5185, ye would have no sinG266: but nowG1161 ye sayG3004, We seeG991: your sinG266 remaineth.
