* And passing by , He saw a man blind from birth . * And His disciples asked Him , saying , Teacher , who sinned , this one , or his parents , that he was born blind ? * Jesus answered , Neither this one nor his parents sinned , but that the works of God might be revealed in him . * It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day . Night comes when no one is able to work . * While I am in the world , I am the Light of the world . * Saying these things , He spat on the ground and made clay out of the spittle , and anointed clay on the blind one 's eyes . * And He said to him , Go , wash in the pool of Siloam , which translated is Sent . Then he went and washed , and came seeing . * 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 ? * Some said , It is he ; and others , He is like him . That one said , I am the one . * Then they said to him , How were your eyes opened ? * He answered and said , A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes , and told me , Go to the pool of Siloam and wash . And going and washing I received sight . * Then they said to him , Where is that one ? He said , I do not know . * They brought him to the Pharisees , the one once blind . * And it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes . * Then also the Pharisees again asked him how he received sight . And he said to them , He put clay on my eyes , and I washed , and I see . * 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 miracles ? And there was a division among them . * 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 . * Then the Jews did not believe concerning him , that he was blind and received sight , until they called the parents of him having received sight . * And they asked them , saying , Is this your son , whom you say that he was born blind ? Then how does he now see ? * His parents answered them and said , We know that this is our son , and that he was born blind . * 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 . * 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 . * Because of this , his parents said , He is of age , ask him . * 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 . * 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 . * And they said to him again , What did he do to you ? How did he open your eyes ? * 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 ? * Then they reviled him and said , You are a disciple of that one , but we are disciples of Moses . * We know that God has spoken by Moses , but this one , we do not know from where he is . * 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 . * But we know that God does not hear sinful ones , but if anyone is God fearing , and does His will , He hears that one . * From the beginning of the age it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of one having been born blind . * If this One was not from God , He could not do anything . * They answered and said to him , You were born wholly in sins , and do you teach us ? And they threw him outside . * Jesus heard that they threw him outside , and finding him , He said to him , Do you believe into the Son of God ? * And he answered and said , Who is He , Lord , that I may believe into Him ? * And Jesus said to him , Even you have seen Him , and He speaking with you is that One . * And he said , I believe , Lord ! And he worshiped Him . * And Jesus said , I came into this world for judgment , that the ones who do not see may see , and they who see may become blind . * And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things , and said to Him , Are we also blind ? * Jesus said to them , If you were blind , you would have no sin . But now you say , We see ; therefore , your sin remains .
