9:1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from

[his] birth.

9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin,

this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his

parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in

him.

9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:

the night cometh, when no man can work.

9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

9:6 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,

9:7 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.

9:8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him

that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9:9 Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but]

he said, I am [he].

9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

9:11 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.

9:12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and

opened his eyes.

9:15 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.

9:16 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.

9:17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,

that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

9:18 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.

9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say

was born blind? how then doth he now see?

9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is

our son, and that he was born blind:

9:21 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.

9:22 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.

9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

9:24 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.

9:25 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.

9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how

opened he thine eyes?

9:27 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?

9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but

we are Moses' disciples.

9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow],

we know not from whence he is.

9:30 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.

9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be

a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened

the eyes of one that was born blind.

9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born

in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

9:35 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?

9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe

on him?

9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is

he that talketh with thee.

9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

9:39 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.

9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these

words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no

sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
