John 9

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from his birth.

2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Master, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was 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 while 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 thus spoken, He spat on the ground and made clay with the spittle; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay

7 and said unto him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which interpreted means, "Sent"). He went his way therefore and washed, and came back seeing.

8 The neighbors therefore, and those who before had seen that he was blind, said, "Is not this he that sat and begged?"

9 Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." But he said, "I am he!"

10 Therefore they said unto him, "How were thine eyes opened?"

11 He answered and said, "A man who 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."

12 Then they said unto him, "Where is he?" He said, "I know not."

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand was blind.

14 And it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

15 Then 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."

16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles?" And there was a division among them.

17 They said unto the blind man again, "What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

18 But 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.

19 And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who ye 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 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."

22 These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already that if any man confessed that He was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, "He is of age; ask him."

24 Then they again called the man who was blind and said unto him, "Give God the praise! We know that this man is a sinner."

25 He answered and said, "Whether he be a sinner or not, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see."

26 Then said they to him again, "What did he do to thee? How opened he thine eyes?"

27 He answered them, "I have told you already, and ye did not hear. Why would ye hear it again? Will ye also be his disciples?"

28 Then they reviled him and said, "Thou art his disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

29 We know that God spoke unto Moses. As for this fellow, we know not from whence he is."

30 The man answered and said unto them, "Why, herein is a marvelous thing: that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners, but if any man be a worshiper of God and doeth His will, him He heareth.

32 Since the world began it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

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.

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

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

37 And Jesus said unto him, "Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee."

38 And he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.

39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I am come into this world, that they that see not might see, and that they that see might be made blind."

40 And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, "Are we blind also?"

41 Jesus said unto them, "If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now ye say, `We see.' Therefore 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.
