John 9:1
|
|
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from
his birth. |
|
|
|
John 9:2
|
|
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi,
who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? |
|
|
|
John 9:3
|
|
Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor
his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. |
|
|
|
John 9:4
|
|
We
must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when
no man can work. |
|
|
|
John 9:5
|
|
When I am in the world, I am the light of the
world. |
|
|
|
John 9:6
|
|
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground,
and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, |
|
|
|
John 9:7
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
John 9:8
|
|
The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him
aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? |
|
|
|
John 9:9
|
|
Others said, It is he: others said, No, but
he is like him. He said, I am he. |
|
|
|
John 9:10
|
|
They said therefore unto him, How then were
thine eyes opened? |
|
|
|
John 9:11
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
John 9:12
|
|
And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith,
I know not. |
|
|
|
John 9:13
|
|
They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime
was blind. |
|
|
|
John 9:14
|
|
Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus
made the clay, and opened his eyes. |
|
|
|
John 9:15
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
John 9:16
|
|
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 division among them. |
|
|
|
John 9:17
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
John 9:18
|
|
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, |
|
|
|
John 9:19
|
|
and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who
ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see? |
|
|
|
John 9:20
|
|
His parents answered and said, We know that
this is our son, and that he was born blind: |
|
|
|
John 9:21
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
John 9:22
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
John 9:23
|
|
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask
him. |
|
|
|
John 9:24
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
John 9:25
|
|
He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner,
I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. |
|
|
|
John 9:26
|
|
They said therefore unto him, What did he to
thee? How opened he thine eyes? |
|
|
|
John 9:27
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
John 9:28
|
|
And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his
disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. |
|
|
|
John 9:29
|
|
We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but
as for this man, we know not whence he is. |
|
|
|
John 9:30
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
John 9:31
|
|
We know that God heareth not sinners: but if
any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. |
|
|
|
John 9:32
|
|
Since the world began it was never heard that
any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. |
|
|
|
John 9:33
|
|
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
|
|
|
|
John 9:34
|
|
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether
born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. |
|
|
|
John 9:35
|
|
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and
finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? |
|
|
|
John 9:36
|
|
He answered and said, And who is he, Lord,
that I may believe on him? |
|
|
|
John 9:37
|
|
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him,
and he it is that speaketh with thee. |
|
|
|
John 9:38
|
|
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped
him. |
|
|
|
John 9:39
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
John 9:40
|
|
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard
these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? |
|
|
|
John 9:41
|
|
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would
have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth. |
