• 1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
  • 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
  • 3 Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
  • 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.
  • 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
  • 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,
  • 7 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
  • 8 The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
  • 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
  • 10 Therefore said they to him, How were your eyes opened?
  • 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
  • 12 Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
  • 13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
  • 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
  • 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
  • 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
  • 17 They say to the blind man again, What say you of him, that he has opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
  • 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.
  • 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?
  • 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
  • 21 But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
  • 22 These words spoke 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.
  • 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
  • 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
  • 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.
  • 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to you? how opened he your eyes?
  • 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear: why would you hear it again? will you also be his disciples?
  • 28 Then they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
  • 29 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from where he is.
  • 30 The man answered and said to them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that you know not from where he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
  • 31 Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
  • 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
  • 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
  • 34 They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
  • 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?
  • 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
  • 37 And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he that talks with you.
  • 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
  • 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.
  • 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
  • 41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
