John 9

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?

3 Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

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

6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes,

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

8 The neighbours, therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.

9 But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he.

10 They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?

11 He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe and wash. And I went: I washed: and I see.

12 And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.

13 They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.

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

15 Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see.

16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

17 They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.

18 The Jews then 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,

19 And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth 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 seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself.

22 These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself.

24 They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.

25 He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind. now I see.

26 They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?

27 He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples?

28 They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.

30 The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.

31 Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth.

32 From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.

33 Unless this man were of God, he could not do anything.

34 They answered and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?

36 He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

37 And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.

38 And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.

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

40 And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?

41 Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.

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.
