John:9:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And (
note :)
Sin is even the beginning of all bodily diseases ,
and yet it does not follow that in punishing ,
even very severely ,
that God is punishing because of sin .(:
note )
as [
Jesus ]
passed by ,
he saw a man which was blind from [
his ]
birth .
*
And his disciples asked him ,
saying ,
Master ,
who did sinne ,
this man ,
or his parents ,
that he was borne blinde ?
*
Jesus answered , (
note :)
Christ reasons here as his disciples thought ,
who presupposed that no diseases came except for the reason of sins :
as a result of this he answers that there was another cause of this man '
s blindness ,
and that was in order that God '
s work might be seen .(:
note )
Neither hath this man sinned ,
nor his parents :
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him .
*
*
As long as I am in the world ,
I am the light of the world .
*
*
And sayd vnto him ,
Go wash in the poole of Siloam (
which is by interpretation ,
Sent .)
He went his way therefore ,
and washed ,
and came againe seeing .
*
*
Some said ,
This is he :
and other sayd ,
He is like him :
but he himselfe sayd ,
I am he .
*
Therefore said they unto him ,
How were thine eyes (
note :)
This is a Hebrew idiom ,
for they call a man '
s eyes shut when they cannot receive any light :
and therefore blind men who are made to see are said to have their eyes opened .(:
note )
opened ?
*
He answered ,
and sayd ,
The man that is called Iesus ,
made clay ,
and anointed mine eyes ,
and sayde vnto me ,
Goe to the poole of Siloam and wash .
So I went and washed ,
and receiued sight .
*
Then they sayd vnto him ,
Where is he ?
He sayd ,
I can not tell .
