John 9:1-23
- 1
- And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
- 2
- And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
- 3
- Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
- 4
- I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
- 5
- As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
- 6
- 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,
- 7
- 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.
- 8
- The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
- 9
- Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
- 10
- Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
- 11
- 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.
- 12
- Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
- 13
- They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
- 14
- And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
- 15
- 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.
- 16
- 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.
- 17
- They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
- 18
- 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.
- 19
- And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
- 20
- His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
- 21
- 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.
- 22
- 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.
- 23
- Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
