- 1. ¶ AND as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his mother’s womb.
- 2. And his disciples asked him, saying, Teacher, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
- 3. Jesus said to them, Neither did he sin nor his parents. But that the works of God might be seen in him,
- 4. I must do the works of him who 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 said these words, he spat on the ground and mixed clay with his saliva, and he placed it on the eves of the blind man.
- 7. Then he said to him, Go and wash in the baptismal pool of Shiloha. He went and washed, and he came seeing.
- 8. ¶ His neighbors and those who had seen him before begging, said, Is not this he who used to sit down and beg?
- 9. Some said, It is he; and some said, No, but he resembles him; but he said, I am he.
- 10. Then they said to him, How were your eyes opened?
- 11. He answered, saying to them, A man whose name is Jesus made clay and placed it on my eyes, and he said to me, Go and wash in the water of Shiloha; and I went and washed, and I see.
- 12. They said to him, Where is he? He said to them, I do not know.
- 13. ¶ So they brought to the Pharisees him who had been blind from his birth.
- 14. Now it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
- 15. Again the Pharisees asked him, How did you receive your sight? He said to them, He placed clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
- 16. Then some of the Pharisees said. This man is not from God, because he does not observe the sabbath; others said, How can a man who is a sinner do these miracles? And there was a division among them.
- 17. They said to the blind man again. What do you say concerning him who opened your eyes? He said to them, I say he is a prophet.
- 18. But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.
- 19. And they asked them, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?
- 20. His parents answered, saying, We know that he is our son and that he was born blind.
- 21. But how he sees now or who opened his eyes we do not know; he is of age, ask him, he will speak for himself.
- 22. His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had decided already that if any man should confess that he is the Christ, they would put him out of the synagogue.
- 23. For this reason his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
- 24. So they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give praise to God, for we know that this man is a sinner.
- 25. He answered, saying to them, If he is a sinner I do not know; but I do know one thing, that I was blind and now behold, I see.
- 26. They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?
- 27. He said to them, I have already told you, and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? What! do you also want to become his disciples?
- 28. Then they cursed him and said to him, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
- 29. And we know that God spoke with Moses; but as for this man, we do not know whence he is.
- 30. The man answered, saying to them, This is surprising, that you do not know whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes.
- 31. We know that God does not hear the voice of sinners; but he hears the one who reveres him and does his will.
- 32. From ages it has never been heard that a man opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
- 33. If this man were not from God, he could not have done this.
- 34. They answered, saying to him, You were wholly born in sins, and yet do you teach us? And they cast him out.
- 35. ¶ And Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him and said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God?
- 36. He who was healed answered, saying, Who is he, my Lord, so that I may believe in him?
- 37. Jesus said to him, You have seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.
- 38. He said, I do believe, my Lord; and he fell down and worshipped him.
- 39. ¶ Then Jesus said to him, I have come for the judgment of this world, so that those who cannot see may see, and those who see may become blind.
- 40. When some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, they said to him, What! are we also blind?
- 41. Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see; because of this your sin remains.
