8 The man's neighbors and those who used to see him when he was a beggar said, "Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?"
8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?"
9 Some said, "It is," and others said, "No, it's someone who looks like him." But the man said, "Yes, it's me!"
9 Some were saying, "It is he." Others were saying, "No, but it is someone like him." He kept saying, "I am the man."
10 So they asked him, "How are you now able to see?"
10 But they kept asking him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
11 He answered, "The man they call Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes, and said, ‘Go to the Pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and then I could see."
11 He answered, "The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, "Go to Siloam and wash.' Then I went and washed and received my sight."
12 They asked, "Where is this man?" He replied, "I don't know."
12 They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 Then they led the man who had been born blind to the Pharisees.
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.
14 Now Jesus made the mud and smeared it on the man's eyes on a Sabbath day.
14 Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 So Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. The man told them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and now I see."
15 Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see."
16 Some Pharisees said, "This man isn't from God, because he breaks the Sabbath law." Others said, "How can a sinner do miraculous signs like these?" So they were divided.
16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And they were divided.
17 Some of the Pharisees questioned the man who had been born blind again: "What do you have to say about him, since he healed your eyes?" He replied, "He's a prophet."
17 So they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened." He said, "He is a prophet."
18 The Jewish leaders didn't believe the man had been blind and received his sight until they called for his parents.
18 The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight
19 The Jewish leaders asked them, "Is this your son? Are you saying he was born blind? How can he now see?"
19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 His parents answered, "We know he is our son. We know he was born blind.
20 His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 But we don't know how he now sees, and we don't know who healed his eyes. Ask him. He's old enough to speak for himself."
21 but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself."
22 His parents said this because they feared the Jewish authorities. This is because the Jewish authorities had already decided that whoever confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be expelled from the synagogue.
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
23 That's why his parents said, "He's old enough. Ask him."
23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."
24 Therefore, they called a second time for the man who had been born blind and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know this man is a sinner."
24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."
25 The man answered, "I don't know whether he's a sinner. Here's what I do know: I was blind and now I see."
25 He answered, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."
26 They questioned him: "What did he do to you? How did he heal your eyes?"
26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 He replied, "I already told you, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?"
27 He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?"
28 They insulted him: "You are his disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
28 Then they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don't know where this man is from."
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
30 The man answered, "This is incredible! You don't know where he is from, yet he healed my eyes!
30 The man answered, "Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners. God listens to anyone who is devout and does God's will.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will.
32 No one has ever heard of a healing of the eyes of someone born blind.
32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33 If this man wasn't from God, he couldn't do this."
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
34 They responded, "You were born completely in sin! How is it that you dare to teach us?" Then they expelled him.
34 They answered him, "You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?" And they drove him out.
35 Jesus heard they had expelled the man born blind. Finding him, Jesus said, "Do you believe in the Human One?"
35 Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36 He answered, "Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him."
36 He answered, "And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him."
37 Jesus said, "You have seen him. In fact, he is the one speaking with you."
37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he."
38 The man said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshipped Jesus.
38 He said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped him.
39 Jesus said, "I have come into the world to exercise judgment so that those who don't see can see and those who see will become blind."

40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard what he said and asked, "Surely we aren't blind, are we?"
40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not blind, are we?"
