Verse 1

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

Verse 2

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

As long as 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 he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

Verse 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.

Verse 8

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

Verse 9

Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

Verse 10

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

Verse 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.

Verse 12

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

Verse 13

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

Verse 14

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 19

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

Verse 20

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 23

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

Verse 24

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.

Verse 25

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.

Verse 26

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

Verse 27

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?

Verse 28

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

Verse 29

We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

Verse 30

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.

Verse 31

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

Verse 32

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

Verse 33

If this man were not of 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 when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Verse 36

He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

Verse 37

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

Verse 38

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

Verse 39

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.

Verse 40

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Verse 41

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