And passing along he saw a man blind from birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, which sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day: night cometh, when no one can work.
When I am in the world, I am the world’s light.
Having said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay over his eyes,
and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted Sent. He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sitteth and beggeth?
Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him; but he said, It is I.
They said therefore to him, How then were thine eyes opened?
He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go unto Siloam, and wash. Having gone away then and washed I received sight.
And they said to him, Where is he? He saith, I do not know.
They bring unto the Pharisees him that was once blind.
Now it was Sabbath [on the day] when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed and do see.
Some of the Pharisees then said, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man do such signs? And there was a division among them.
They say therefore to the blind [man] again, Thou, what sayest thou of him, because he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind, and received sight, until they called the parents of him that received sight,
and asked them, saying, Is this your son who, ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?
His parents therefore answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
but how he now seeth we know not, or who opened his eyes we know not; ask himself: he is of age, he will speak for himself.
These things said his parents because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that, if anyone should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.
Therefore they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
He therefore answered, If he is a sinner I know not. One thing I know, that, blind as I was, now I see.
They said therefore to him [again], What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not hear: why do ye wish to hear again? Do ye also wish to become his disciples?
They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
We know that God hath spoken to Moses, but this man we know not whence he is.
The man answered and said to them, Why in this is the wonderful thing, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes!
We know that God heareth not sinners, but if anyone be God-fearing, and do his will, him he heareth.
Since time [began] was it not heard that anyone opened a born blind man’s eyes.
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
They answered and said to him, In sins thou was born wholly, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and, having found him, he said, Believest thou on the Son of God?
He answered , and said, And who is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?
Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaketh with thee is he.
And he said, I believe, Lord; and he did him homage.
And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that they that see not may see, and they that see may become blind.
And some of the Pharisees that were with him heard these things , and said to him, Are we blind also?
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remaineth.
