· kai As he went paragō on his way , Jesus saw a man anthrōpos blind typhlos from ek birth genetē. And kai his autos disciples mathētēs questioned erōtaō him autos, · ho saying legō, “ Rabbi rhabbi, who tis sinned hamartanō, this houtos man or ē · ho his autos parents goneus, that hina he was born gennaō blind typhlos?” Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, “It is not oute that this houtos man sinned hamartanō, or oute · ho his autos parents goneus; but alla it happened so hina that the ho works ergon of ho God theos might be displayed phaneroō in en him autos. We hēmeis must dei do ergazomai the ho works ergon of ho him who sent pempō me egō while heōs it is eimi day hēmera; night nyx is coming erchomai when hote no oudeis one can dynamai work ergazomai. As hotan long as I am eimi in en the ho world kosmos, I am eimi the light phōs of the ho world kosmos.”

After saying legō this houtos, he spat ptyō on the ground chamai and kai made poieō mud pēlos with ek his ho saliva ptysma; then kai he daubed epichriō the ho mud pēlos on epi the ho man’ s autos eyes ophthalmos and kai said legō to him autos, “ Go hypagō, wash niptō in eis the ho pool kolymbēthra of ho Siloam Silōam” ( which hos means hermēneuō Sent apostellō”). So oun he went aperchomai away and kai washed niptō, and kai came erchomai back able to see blepō. Then oun the ho neighbors geitōn and kai those ho who were used to seeing theōreō him autos · ho previously proteros as hoti a beggar prosaitēs said legō, “ Is eimi not ou this houtos the ho man who used to sit kathēmai and kai beg prosaiteō?” Some allos said legō, “ He is eimi the one houtos.” Others allos said legō, “ No ouchi, but alla he looks eimi like homoios him autos.” But he himself ekeinos kept saying legō, “ I egō am eimi the man.” 10 So oun they asked legō him autos, “ How pōs then oun were your sy eyes ophthalmos opened anoigō?” · ho 11 He ekeinos answered apokrinomai, “ The ho man anthrōpos · ho called legō Jesus Iēsous made poieō mud pēlos, · kai daubed epichriō it on my egō · ho eyes ophthalmos, and kai said legō to me egō, ‘ Go hypagō to eis · ho Siloam Silōam and kai wash niptō.’ So oun I went aperchomai there and kai washed niptō, and I was able to see anablepō.” 12 · kai They said legō to him autos, “ Where pou is eimi that ekeinos man ?” He replied legō, “ I do not ou know oida.”

13 They brought agō to pros the ho Pharisees Pharisaios the man autos who ho had been pote blind typhlos. 14 Now de it was eimi a Sabbath sabbaton day hēmera when en hos Jesus Iēsous made poieō the ho mud pēlos · ho and kai opened anoigō his autos · ho eyes ophthalmos. 15 Then oun the ho Pharisees Pharisaios also kai asked erōtaō him autos how pōs he had received anablepō his sight . And de he ho said legō to them autos, “ He daubed epitithēmi mud pēlos on epi my egō · ho eyes ophthalmos, and kai I washed niptō, and kai now I see blepō.” 16 Then oun some tis of ek the ho Pharisees Pharisaios said legō, “ This houtos man anthrōpos is eimi not ou from para God theos · ho because hoti he does tēreō not ou keep tēreō the ho Sabbath sabbaton.” But de others allos said legō, “ How pōs can dynamai a sinful hamartōlos man anthrōpos perform poieō miraculous signs sēmeion like toioutos this ?” And kai there was eimi a division schisma among en them autos. 17 So oun they spoke legō again palin to the ho blind typhlos man , “ What tis do you sy say legō about peri him autos, since hoti it was your sy eyes ophthalmos that he opened anoigō?” · ho The ho man · de replied legō, “ He is eimi a prophet prophētēs.”

18 The ho Jews Ioudaios did not ou believe pisteuō the report about peri him autos, that hoti he had been eimi blind typhlos and kai had received anablepō his sight , until heōs hostis they called phōneō the ho parents goneus of the man autos who ho had received anablepō his sight 19 and kai asked erōtaō them autos, saying legō, “ Is eimi this houtos · ho your hymeis son hyios, who hos you hymeis say legō was born gennaō blind typhlos? How pōs then oun does he now arti see blepō?” 20 His autos parents goneus answered apokrinomai, · ho · kai saying legō, “ We know oida that hoti this houtos is eimi · ho our hēmeis son hyios and kai that hoti he was born gennaō blind typhlos; 21 but de how pōs it is that he now nyn sees blepō we do not ou know oida, nor ē do oida we hēmeis know oida who tis opened anoigō his autos · ho eyes ophthalmos. Ask erōtaō him autos, he is echō an adult hēlikia. He autos will speak laleō for peri himself heautou.” 22 His autos parents goneus said legō this houtos · ho because hoti they were afraid phobeomai of the ho Jews Ioudaios; for gar the ho Jews Ioudaios had already ēdē agreed syntithēmi that hina if ean anyone tis should confess homologeō Jesus autos to be the Christ Christos, he was to be ginomai put out of the synagogue aposynagōgos. 23 For dia this houtos reason · ho his autos parents goneus said legō, “ He is echō an adult hēlikia, ask eperōtaō him autos.”

24 So oun for ek the second time deuteros they called phōneō the ho man anthrōpos who hos had been eimi blind typhlos and kai said legō to him autos, “ Give didōmi the glory doxa to ho God theos! We hēmeis know oida that hoti this houtos · ho man anthrōpos is eimi a sinner hamartōlos.” 25 He ekeinos replied apokrinomai, “ Whether ei or not he is eimi a sinner hamartōlos, I do not ou know oida. One heis thing I do know oida: whereas I used to be eimi blind typhlos, I now arti see blepō.” 26 Therefore oun they said legō to him autos, “ What tis did he do poieō to you sy? How pōs did he open anoigō your sy · ho eyes ophthalmos?” 27 He answered apokrinomai them autos, “ I told legō you hymeis already ēdē and kai you did not ou listen akouō. Why tis do you want thelō to hear akouō it again palin? You hymeis do thelō not want thelō to become ginomai his autos disciples mathētēs too kai, do you?” 28 Then kai they scoffed loidoreō at him autos, · kai saying legō, “ You sy are eimi a disciple mathētēs of that ekeinos man ! But de we hēmeis are eimi disciples mathētēs of ho Moses Mōysēs! 29 We hēmeis know oida that hoti God theos has spoken laleō to Moses Mōysēs, · ho but de as for this houtos fellow , we do not ou even know oida where pothen he comes eimi from.” 30 The ho man anthrōpos responded apokrinomai · kai to them autos, saying legō, “ This houtos is eimi an ho amazing thaumastos thing , that hoti you hymeis do not ou know oida where pothen he comes eimi from, and kai yet he opened anoigō my egō · ho eyes ophthalmos! 31 We know oida that hoti God theos does akouō not ou listen akouō to sinners hamartōlos, · ho but alla if ean anyone tis is eimi devout theosebēs and kai does poieō · ho his autos will thelēma, God listens to akouō him houtos. 32 Not ou since ek · ho time aiōn began has it been heard akouō that hoti anyone tis opened anoigō the eyes ophthalmos of a man born gennaō blind typhlos. 33 If ei this man houtos were eimi not from para God theos, he could dynamai do poieō nothing oudeis.” 34 They replied apokrinomai · kai to him autos, saying legō, “ You sy were born gennaō completely holos in en sin hamartia, and kai would you sy lecture didaskō us hēmeis?” So kai they threw ekballō him autos out exō.

35 Jesus Iēsous heard akouō that hoti they had thrown ekballō him autos out exō, and kai when he found heuriskō him autos, he said legō, “ Do you sy believe pisteuō in eis the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos?” 36 The man ekeinos replied apokrinomai, · kai saying legō, “ And kai who tis is eimi he , sir kyrios? Tell me, so that hina I may believe pisteuō in eis him autos.” 37 Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho · kai You have seen horaō him autos; in fact kai, he ekeinos is eimi the ho one speaking laleō with meta you sy.” 38 Then de the ho man said phēmi, “ I believe pisteuō, Lord kyrios,” and kai he bowed proskyneō in reverence before him autos. 39 · kai Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho For eis judgment krima I egō came erchomai into eis · ho this houtos world kosmos, so hina that those ho who cannot see blepō may receive their sight blepō, and kai that those ho who think they see blepō may become ginomai blind typhlos.” 40 Some ho of ek the ho Pharisees Pharisaios who were eimi near meta him autos heard akouō this houtos, and kai said legō to him autos, “ Surely we hēmeis are eimi not blind typhlos too kai, are we ?” 41 Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho If ei you were eimi blind typhlos, you would an not ou be guilty echō of sin hamartia; but de now nyn you are saying legō, ‘ We can see blepō,’ so · ho your hymeis guilt hamartia remains menō.

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, [a]and anointed his eyes with the clay, 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. The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 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. 12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 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. 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 a division among them. 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. 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, 19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered 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 opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall 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. 23 Therefore said his parents, 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. 25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine 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? 28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but 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. 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. 31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man 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 finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on [b]the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he [c]worshipped 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. 40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
