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.
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 .
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.
26 Then said they to him again , What did he to thee ? how opened he thine eyes ?
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 ?
28 Then they reviled him, and said , Thou art his disciple ; but we are Moses’ disciples .
29 We know that God spake unto Moses : as for this fellow , we know not from whence he is.
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 .
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 .
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind .
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing .
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins , and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
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?
36 He answered and said , Who is he, Lord , that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee .
38 And he said , Lord , I believe . And he worshipped him.
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 .
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words , and said unto him, Are we blind also ?
41 Jesus said unto them , If ye were blind , ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth .
