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 hath 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 cometh, 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 unto 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 neigh­bours 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 unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 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. 12 Then said they unto 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 unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 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. 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. 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 ye say was born blind? how then doth 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 seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for him­self. 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. 23 There­fore said his par­ents, He is of age; ask him. 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. 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 thee? how opened he thine eyes? 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? 28 Then they re­viled him, and said, Thou art his dis­ci­ple; but we are Moses' dis­ci­ples. 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 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. 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. 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 unto him, Thou wast al­to­geth­er born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 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? 36 He an­swered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might be­lieve on him? 37 And Je­sus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 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 unto him, Are we blind al­so? 41 Je­sus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; there­fore your sin re­maineth.
