Verse 1

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

Verse 2

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

Verse 3

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Verse 4

We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Verse 5

When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Verse 6

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

Verse 7

and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Verse 8

The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

Verse 9

Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he] .

Verse 10

They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

Verse 11

He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

Verse 12

And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

Verse 13

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

Verse 14

Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

Verse 15

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

Verse 16

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

Verse 17

They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

Verse 18

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 that had received his sight,

Verse 19

and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

Verse 20

His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

Verse 21

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

Verse 22

These things said his parents, 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.

Verse 23

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

Verse 24

So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

Verse 25

He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

Verse 26

They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

Verse 27

He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

Verse 28

And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

Verse 29

We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

Verse 30

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.

Verse 31

We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

Verse 32

Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

Verse 33

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

Verse 34

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

Verse 35

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Verse 36

He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

Verse 37

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

Verse 38

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

Verse 39

And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

Verse 40

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

Verse 41

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
