* And as he passed by , he saw a man blind from his birth . * And his disciples asked him , saying , Rabbi , who sinned , this man , or his parents , that he should be born blind ? * Jesus answered , Neither did this man sin , nor his parents : but that the works of God should be made manifest in him . * We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day : the night comes , when no man can work . * When I am in the world , I am the light of the world . * When he had thus spoken , he spat on the ground , and made clay of the spittle , and anointed his eyes with the clay , * and said to him , Go , wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation , Sent ). He went away therefore , and washed , and came seeing . * The neighbors therefore , and those who saw him previously , that he was a beggar , said , Isn 't this he who sat and begged ? * Others said , It is he : others said , No , but he is like him . He said , I am [he ]. * They said therefore to him , How then were your eyes opened ? * He answered , The man who is called Jesus made clay , and anointed my eyes , and said to me , Go to Siloam , and wash : so I went away and washed , and I received sight . * And they said to him , Where is he ? He says , I don 't know . * They bring to the Pharisees him who previously was blind . * Now it was the Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay , and opened his eyes . * Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight . And he said to them , He put clay on my eyes , and I washed , and I see . * Some therefore of the Pharisees said , This man is not from God , because he doesn 't keep the Sabbath . But others said , How can a man who is a sinner do such signs ? And there was a division among them . * They say therefore to the blind man again , What do you say of him , in that he opened your eyes ? And he said , He is a prophet . * The Jews therefore 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 , * and asked them , saying , Is this your (note :){+}(:note ) son , who you {+} say was born blind ? How then does he now see ? * His parents therefore answered and said , We know that this is our son , and that he was born blind : * but how he now sees , we don 't know ; or who opened his eyes , we don 't know : ask him ; he is of age ; he will speak for himself . * These things his parents said , because they feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed already , that if any man should confess him [to be ] Christ , he should be put out of the synagogue . * Therefore his parents said , He is of age ; ask him . * So they called a second time the man who was blind , and said to him , Give glory to God : we know that this man is a sinner . * He therefore answered , Whether he is a sinner , I don 't know : one thing I know , that , whereas I was blind , now I see . * They said therefore to him , What did he do to you ? How did he open your eyes ? * He answered them , I told you (note :){+}(:note ) even now , and you {+} did not hear ; why do you {+} want to hear it again ? Do you {+} also want to become his disciples ? * And they reviled him , and said , You are his disciple ; but we are disciples of Moses . * We know that God has spoken to Moses : but as for this man , we don 't know where he is from . * The man answered and said to them , Therefore , in this is the marvel , that you (note :){+}(:note ) don 't know where he is from , and [yet ] he opened my eyes . * We know that God does not hear sinners : but if any man is a worshiper of God , and does his will , him he hears . * Never was it heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind . * If this man were not from God , he could do nothing . * They answered and said to him , You were altogether born in sins , and do you teach us ? And they cast him out . * Jesus heard that they had cast him out ; and finding him , he said , Do you believe in the Son of Man ? * He answered and said , And who is he , Lord , that I may believe on him ? * Jesus said to him , You have both seen him , and it is he who speaks with you . * And he said , Lord , I believe . And he worshiped him . * And Jesus said , For judgment I came into this world , that those who don 't see may see ; and that those who see may become blind . * 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 (note :){+}(:note ) were blind , you {+} would have no sin : but now you {+} say , We see : your {+} sin stays .
