Webster - John - 9

9:1  And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man who was blind from [his] birth.

9:2  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

9:3  Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work.

9:5  As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

9:6  When he had thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

9:7  And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

9:8  The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9:9  Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].

9:10  Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes opened?

9:11  He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

9:12  Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

9:13  They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.

9:14  And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

9:15  Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

9:16  Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

9:17  They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

9:18  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.

9:19  And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

9:20  His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

9:21  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 will speak for himself.

9:22  These [words] his parents spoke, 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.

9:23  Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

9:24  Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

9:25  He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.

9:26  Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy eyes?

9:27  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?

9:28  Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

9:29  We know that God spoke to Moses: [as for] this [man], we know not whence he is.

9:30  The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened my eyes.

9:31  Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

9:32  Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

9:33  If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

9:34  They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? and they cast him out.

9:35  Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

9:36  He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

9:37  And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

9:38  And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

9:39  And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be made blind.

9:40  And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?

9:41  Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
