Book 43 : JOHN - Chapter 009
009:001
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this
man, or his parents, that he was born blind
009:002
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him
009:003
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:
the night cometh, when no man can work
009:004
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world
009:005
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
009:006
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
009:007
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him
that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged
009:008
Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he
said, I am he
009:009
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened
009:010
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
009:011
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not
009:012
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind
009:013
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
opened his eyes
009:014
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
009:015
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
009:016
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,
that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet
009:017
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
009:018
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was
born blind? how then doth he now see
009:019
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our
son, and that he was born blind
009:020
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
009:021
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
009:022
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him
009:023
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
009:024
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
009:025
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
he thine eyes
009:026
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
009:027
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we
are Moses' disciples
009:028
We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know
not from whence he is
009:029
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
009:030
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth
009:031
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the
eyes of one that was born blind
009:032
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing
009:033
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out
009:034
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
009:035
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
him
009:036
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
that talketh with thee
009:037
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him
009:038
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
009:039
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
words, and said unto him, Are we blind also
009:040
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth
