John 9

The Darby Translation DBY

1 And as he passed on, 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?

3 Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

4 I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.

6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

7 And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

9 Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I.

10 They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

11 He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

12 They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

13 They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

14 Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

15 The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

17 They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

19 And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does 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 how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

23 On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.

24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.

26 And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

27 He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

28 They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.

30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been born blind.

2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Did he or his parents sin?"

3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. Instead, he was born blind so that God could show what he can do for him.

4 We must do what the one who sent me wants us to do while it is day. The night when no one can do anything is coming.

5 As long as I'm in the world, I'm light for the world."

6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and mixed the spit with dirt. Then he smeared it on the man's eyes

7 and told him, "Wash it off in the pool of Siloam." (Siloam means "sent.") The blind man washed it off and returned. He was able to see.

8 His neighbors and those who had previously seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?"

9 Some of them said, "He's the one." Others said, "No, he isn't, but he looks like him." But the man himself said, "I am the one."

10 So they asked him, "How did you receive your sight?"

11 He replied, "The man people call Jesus mixed some spit with dirt, smeared it on my eyes, and told me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash it off.' So I went there, washed it off, and received my sight."

12 They asked him, "Where is that man?" The man answered, "I don't know."

13 Some people brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

14 The day when Jesus mixed the spit and dirt and gave the man sight was a day of worship.

15 So the Pharisees asked the man again how he received his sight. The man told the Pharisees, "He put a mixture of spit and dirt on my eyes. I washed it off, and now I can see."

16 Some of the Pharisees said, "The man who did this is not from God because he doesn't follow the traditions for the day of worship." Other Pharisees asked, "How can a man who is a sinner perform miracles like these?" So the Pharisees were divided in their opinions.

17 They asked the man who had been born blind another question: "What do you say about the man who gave you sight?" The man answered, "He's a prophet."

18 Until they talked to the man's parents, the Jews didn't believe that the man had been blind and had been given sight.

19 They asked his parents, "Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? Why can he see now?"

20 His parents replied, "We know that he's our son and that he was born blind.

21 But we don't know how he got his sight or who gave it to him. You'll have to ask him. He's old enough to answer for himself."

22 (His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had already agreed to put anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ out of the synagogue.

23 That's why his parents said, "You'll have to ask him. He's old enough.")

24 So once again the Jews called the man who had been blind. They told him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man who gave you sight is a sinner."

25 The man responded, "I don't know if he's a sinner or not. But I do know one thing. I used to be blind, but now I can see."

26 The Jews asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he give you sight?"

27 The man replied, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear the story again? Do you want to become his disciples too?"

28 The Jews yelled at him, "You're his disciple, but we're Moses' disciples.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don't know where this man came from."

30 The man replied to them, "That's amazing! You don't know where he's from. Yet, he gave me sight.

31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners. Instead, he listens to people who are devout and who do what he wants.

32 Since the beginning of time, no one has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a person born blind.

33 If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that."

34 The Jews answered him, "You were born full of sin. Do you think you can teach us?" Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

35 Jesus heard that the Jews had thrown the man out [of the synagogue]. So when Jesus found the man, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

36 The man replied, "Sir, tell me who he is so that I can believe in him."

37 Jesus told him, "You've seen him. He is the person who is now talking with you."

38 The man bowed in front of Jesus and said, "I believe, Lord."

39 Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge: Blind people will be given sight, and those who can see will become blind."

40 Some Pharisees who were with Jesus heard this. So they asked him, "Do you think we're blind?"

41 Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you wouldn't be sinners. But now you say, 'We see,' so you continue to be sinners.
