John:9:1-41
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
passing along ,
he saw a man ,
blind from birth .
*
And his disciples questioned him ,
saying Rabbi !
who sinned ,
this man or his parents ,
that ,
blind ,
he should be born ?
*
Jesus answered Neither ,
this man ,
sinned nor his parents ;
butthat the works of God should be made manifest in him .
*
We must needs be working the works of him that sent me ,
while it is ,
day :
There cometh a night ,
when ,
no one ,
can work .
*
Whensoever I may be ,
in the world ,
I am ,
the light ,
of the world .
*
These things ,
having said ,
he spat on the ground ,
and made clay with the spittle ,
and laid the clay upon his eyes ;
*
and said unto him Withdraw !
wash in the pool of Siloam ,
which is to be translated ,
Sent .
He went away ,
therefore ,
and washed ,
and came ,
seeing .
*
The neighbours ,
therefore ,
and they who used to observe him aforetimethat he was ,
a beggar ,
were saying Is not ,
this ,
he that used to sit and beg ?
*
Others ,
were saying Tis ,
the same .
Others ,
were saying Nay !
but he is ,
like him .
He ,
was saying I ,
am he .
*
So they were saying unto him How then were thine eyes opened ?
*
He ,
answered The man that is called Jesus ,
made ,
clay ,
and anointed mine eyes ,
and said unto me :
Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam ,
and wash .
Going away ,
therefore ,
and washing ,
I received sight .
*
And they said unto him Where is ,
He ?
He saith I know not .
*
They bring him unto the Phariseeshim at one time blind .
*
Now it was Sabbath ,
on the day when Jesus made ,
the clay ,
and opened his eyes .
*
Again ,
therefore ,
the Pharisees also questioned him ,
as to how he received sight .
And ,
he ,
said unto them Clay ,
laid he upon mine eyes ,
and I washed ,
and do see .
*
Certain from among the Pharisees ,
therefore ,
were saying This man is not ,
from God ,
because ,
the Sabbath ,
he keepeth not .
Others ,
however were saying How can a sinful man ,
such signs as these ,
be doing ?
And there was ,
a division ,
among them .
*
So they were saying unto the blind man ,
again ,
What dost ,
thou ,
say concerning him ,
in that he opened thine eyes ?
And ,
he ,
said A prophet ,
is he .
*
The Jews ,
therefore ,
did not believe ,
concerning him ,
that he was blind ,
and received sight ,
until they called the parents of him that had received sight ,
*
and questioned them ,
saying Is ,
this ,
your son ,
of whom ,
ye ,
say ,
that blind ,
he was ,
born ?
How ,
then ,
seeth he ,
even now ?
*
His parents ,
therefore ,
answered ,
and said We know that ,
this ,
is our son ,
and that ,
blind ,
he was born ;
*
But ,
how he now seeth ,
we know not ,
or ,
who opened his eyes ,
we ,
know not ,
Question ,
him ,
he is ,
of age ,
he ,
concerning himself ,
shall speak .
*
These things ,
said his parents ,
because they were in fear of the Jews ,
for ,
already ,
had the Jews agreed together ,
that ,
if anyone should confess ,
him ,
to be Christ ,
an ,
excommunicant from the synagogue ,
should he be made .
*
For this cause ,
his parents said He is ,
of age ,
question him .
*
So they called the man a second time who had been blind ,
and said unto him Give glory unto God !
We know that ,
this man ,
is ,
a sinner .
*
He ,
therefore ,
answered Whether he is a sinner ,
I know not :
One thing ,
I know ,
That ,
whereas I was ,
blind ,
now ,
I see !
*
They said ,
therefore ,
unto him What did he unto thee ?
How opened he thine eyes ?
*
He answered them I told you just now ,
and ye did not hear :
Why ,
again ,
do ye wish to hear ?
Are ,
ye also ,
wishing to become ,
his disciples ?
*
And they reviled him ,
and said Thou ,
art ,
the disciple ,
of that man ;
but ,
we ,
are ,
Moses ,
disciples :
*
We ,
know ,
that ,
unto Moses ,
hath God spoken ;
but ,
as for this man ,
we know not whence he is .
*
The man answered ,
and said unto them Why !
Herein ,
is ,
the marvel :
That ,
ye ,
know not whence he is ,
and yet he opened mine eyes .
*
We know that ,
God ,
unto sinners ,
doth not hearken :
but ,
if one be ,
a worshipper of God ,
and be doing ,
his will ,
unto this one ,
he hearkeneth .
*
Out of age-past time ,
hath it never been heard ,
that anyone opened the eyes of one who ,
blind ,
had been born .
*
If this man were not from God ,
he could have done nothing .
*
They answered and said unto him In sins ,
wast ,
thou ,
born ,
altogether ;
and art ,
thou ,
teaching ,
us ?
And they cast him out .
*
Jesus heard that they had cast him out :
and ,
finding him ,
said Dost ,
thou ,
believe on the son of Man ?
*
He answered and said And ,
who ,
is he ,
Sir ,
that I may believe on him ?
*
Jesus said unto him Thou hast both seen him and ,
he that is speaking with thee ,
is ,
he .
*
And ,
he ,
said I believe ,
Sir !
and worshipped him .
*
And Jesus said For judgment ,
I ,
unto this world ,
came :
that ,
they who were not seeing ,
might see ,
and ,
they who were seeing ,
might become ,
blind .
*
They of the Pharisees who were with him ,
heard ,
these things ,
and said unto him Are ,
we also ,
blind ?
*
Jesus said unto them If ,
blind ,
ye had been ,
ye had not had sin ;
but ,
now ,
ye say ,
We see ,
your sin ,
abideth .
