Johannes 9 | King James Version
1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.6When 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,7And 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.8The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that 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, 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.12Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.13They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.14And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.15Then 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.16Therefore 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.17They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.18But 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.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 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.23Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.24Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a 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 hear: wherefore would ye 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, we know not from whence he is.30The 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.31Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.32Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.33If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.34They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.35Jesus 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?36He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?37And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.38And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.39And 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.40And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?41Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Jesus heals a man born blind
1As Jesus went along, he saw a man who was blind. He had been blind since he was born.2Jesus’ disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned? Was this man born blind because he sinned? Or did his parents sin?’3‘It isn’t because this man sinned,’ said Jesus. ‘It isn’t because his parents sinned. He was born blind so that God’s power could be shown by what’s going to happen.4While it is still day, we must do the works of the one who sent me. Night is coming. Then no one can work.5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’6After he said this, he spat on the ground. He made some mud with the spit. Then he put the mud on the man’s eyes.7‘Go’, he told him. ‘Wash in the Pool of Siloam.’ Siloam means Sent. So the man went and washed. And he came home able to see.8His neighbours and people who had seen him begging earlier asked questions. ‘Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?’ they asked.9Some claimed that he was. Others said, ‘No. He only looks like him.’ But the man who had been blind kept saying, ‘I am the man.’10‘Then how were your eyes opened?’ they asked.11He replied, ‘The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed. Then I could see.’12‘Where is this man?’ they asked him. ‘I don’t know,’ he said.
The Pharisees want to know how the blind man was healed
13They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.14The day Jesus made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath day.15So the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. ‘He put mud on my eyes,’ the man replied. ‘Then I washed. And now I can see.’16Some of the Pharisees said, ‘Jesus has not come from God. He does not keep the Sabbath day.’ But others asked, ‘How can a sinner do such signs?’ So the Pharisees did not agree with one another.17Then they turned again to the blind man. ‘What do you have to say about him?’ they asked. ‘It was your eyes he opened.’ The man replied, ‘He is a prophet.’18They still did not believe that the man had been blind and now could see. So they sent for his parents.19‘Is this your son?’ they asked. ‘Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?’20‘We know he is our son,’ the parents answered. ‘And we know he was born blind.21But we don’t know how he can now see. And we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is an adult. He can speak for himself.’22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. The leaders had already made this decision about Jesus. Anyone who said Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.23That was why the man’s parents said, ‘He is an adult. Ask him.’24Again the Pharisees called the man who had been blind to come to them. ‘Give glory to God by telling the truth!’ they said. ‘We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.’25He replied, ‘I don’t know if he is a sinner or not. I do know one thing. I was blind, but now I can see!’26Then they asked him, ‘What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?’27He answered, ‘I have already told you. But you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?’28Then they began to attack him with their words. ‘You are this fellow’s disciple!’ they said. ‘We are disciples of Moses!29We know that God spoke to Moses. But we don’t even know where this fellow comes from.’30The man answered, ‘That is really surprising! You don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.31We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does what he wants them to do.32Nobody has ever heard of anyone opening the eyes of a person born blind.33If this man had not come from God, he could do nothing.’34Then the Pharisees replied, ‘When you were born, you were already deep in sin. How dare you talk like that to us!’ And they threw him out of the synagogue.
People who can’t see the truth
35Jesus heard that the Pharisees had thrown the man out of the synagogue. When Jesus found him, he said, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’36‘Who is he, sir?’ the man asked. ‘Tell me, so I can believe in him.’37Jesus said, ‘You have now seen him. In fact, he is the one speaking with you.’38Then the man said, ‘Lord, I believe.’ And he worshipped him.39Jesus said, ‘I have come into this world to judge it. I have come so that people who are blind will see. I have come so that people who can see will become blind.’40Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this. They asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’41Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, you remain guilty.
