John 9

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. ²And his disciples asked him, saying, ^aMaster, ^bwho did sin, this man, or ^chis parents, that he was born blind? ³Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but ^dthat the works of God should be made manifest in him. ⁴I must work ^ethe works of him that sent me, ^fwhile it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. ⁵As long as I am in the world, ^gI am the light of the world. ⁶When he had thus spoken, ^hhe spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, ⁷and said unto him, Go, wash in ⁱthe pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) ^jHe went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

⁸The neighbours therefore, and they which before had ^kseen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he ^lthat sat and begged? ⁹Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. ¹⁰Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? ¹¹He answered and said, ^mA 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. ¹²Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

¹³They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. ¹⁴And ⁿit was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵Then ^oagain 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. ¹⁶Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not ^pof God, ^qbecause he keepeth not the sabbath day. ^rOthers said, ^sHow can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And ^tthere was a division among them. ¹⁷They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is ^ua prophet. ¹⁸But ^xthe 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. ¹⁹And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? ²⁰His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: ²¹but 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. ²²These words spake his parents, because ^ythey feared ^xthe Jews: for ^zthe Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, ^ahe should be put out of the synagogue. ²³Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. ²⁴Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, ^bGive God the praise: we know that this man is ^ca sinner. ²⁵He 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. ²⁶Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? ²⁷He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not ^dhear: wherefore would you hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? ²⁸Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. ²⁹We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, ^ewe know not from whence he is. ³⁰The man answered and said unto them, ^fWhy herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. ³¹Now we know that ^gGod heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, ^hhim he heareth. ³²ⁱSince the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. ^33kIf this man were not ^lof God, he could do nothing. ³⁴They answered and said unto him, Thou wast ^maltogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they ⁿcast him out. ³⁵Jesus heard that they had ⁿcast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou ^obelieve on ^pthe Son of God? ³⁶He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? ³⁷And Jesus said unto him, ^qThou hast both seen him, and ^rit is he that talketh with thee. ³⁸And he said, Lord, I believe. And he ^sworshipped him.

³⁹And Jesus said, ^tFor judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that ^uthey which see might be made blind. ⁴⁰And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, ^xAre we blind also? ⁴¹Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ^yye should have no sin: ^xbut now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
