Verse 1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. Verse 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Verse 3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. Verse 4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. Verse 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Verse 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud, Verse 7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. Verse 8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?" Verse 9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he." Verse 10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?" Verse 11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight." Verse 12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know." Verse 13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. Verse 14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Verse 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see." Verse 16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them. Verse 17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." Verse 18 The Jewish leaders therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight, Verse 19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" Verse 20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; Verse 21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself." Verse 22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if any man would confess him as the Messiah, he would be put out of the synagogue. Verse 23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him." Verse 24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner." Verse 25 He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see." Verse 26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" Verse 27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?" Verse 28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. Verse 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from." Verse 30 The man answered them, "How amazing! You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. Verse 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. Verse 32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. Verse 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." Verse 34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out. Verse 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" Verse 36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?" Verse 37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you." Verse 38 He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him. Verse 39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind." Verse 40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?" Verse 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
