John 9

Joh 9:1 And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth.
Joh 9:2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Teacher, who sinned, this one, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither this one nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Joh 9:4 It behooves Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night comes when no one is able to work.
Joh 9:5 While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.
Joh 9:6 Saying these things, He spat on the ground and made clay out of the spittle, and anointed clay on the blind one’s eyes.
Joh 9:7 And He said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which translated is Sent. Then he went and washed, and came seeing.
Joh 9:8 Then the neighbors and those who formerly saw him, that he was blind, said, Is this one not the one who had sat and begged?
Joh 9:9 Some said, This is he; and others, He is like him. That one said, I am the one.
Joh 9:10 Then they said to him, How were your eyes opened?
Joh 9:11 He answered and said, A man being called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and told me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And going and washing I saw anew.
Joh 9:12 Then they said to him, Where is that One? He said, I do not know.
Joh 9:13 They brought him to the Pharisees, the one once blind.
Joh 9:14 And it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
Joh 9:15 Then also the Pharisees again asked him how he saw anew. And he said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
Joh 9:16 Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because He does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a man, a sinner, do such miraculous signs? And there was a division among them.
Joh 9:17 They said to the blind one again, What do you say about Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
Joh 9:18 Then the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and saw anew, until they called the parents of him seeing anew.
Joh 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom you say that he was born blind? Then how does he now see?
Joh 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.
Joh 9:21 But how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age, ask him. He will speak about himself.
Joh 9:22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Him as Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
Joh 9:23 Because of this, his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
Joh 9:24 Then a second time they called the man who was blind, and they said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
Joh 9:25 Then he answered and said, Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know; that being blind, now I see.
Joh 9:26 And they said to him again, What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?
Joh 9:27 He answered them, I told you already, and you did not hear. Why do you wish to hear again? Do you also desire to become disciples of Him?
Joh 9:28 Then they reviled him and said, You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses.
Joh 9:29 We know that God has spoken by Moses, but this One, we do not know from where He is.
Joh 9:30 The man answered and said to them, For there is a marvel in this, that you do not know from where He is, and He opened my eyes.
Joh 9:31 But we know that God does not hear sinful ones, but if anyone is God fearing, and does His will, He hears that one.
Joh 9:32 From the beginning of the age it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of one having been born blind.
Joh 9:33 If this One was not from God, He could not do anything.
Joh 9:34 They answered and said to him, You were born wholly in sins, and do you teach us? And they threw him outside.
Joh 9:35 Jesus heard that they threw him outside, and finding him, He said to him, Do you believe into the Son of God?
Joh 9:36 And he answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?
Joh 9:37 And Jesus said to him, Even you have seen Him, and He speaking with you is that One.
Joh 9:38 And he said, I believe, Lord! And he worshiped Him.
Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment, that the ones not seeing may see, and the ones seeing may become blind.
Joh 9:40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, Are we also blind?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin. But now you say, We see; therefore, your sin remains.
