1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
4 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
5 When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
5 While 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 anointed his eyes with the clay,
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
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.
7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
8 The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he].
9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
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.
11 He 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, and then I could see.”
12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.
12 “Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.
13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.
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.
15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
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 division among them.
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.
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.
17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.”
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,
18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents.
19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?
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 His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind.
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.
21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.”
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.
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
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.
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
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?
27 He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
29 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
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.
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.
32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
33 If this man were not from 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.
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.
37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
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.
39 Jesus said,“For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
