ABP - John - 9

9:1  And passing on, he beheld a man blind from birth.

9:2  And [2asked 3him 1his disciples], saying, Rabbi, Who sinned, this one or his parents, that [2blind 1he was born]?

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

9:4  It is necessary to work the works of the one sending me forth, while it is day; there comes the night when no one is able to work.

9:5  Whenever [2in 3the 4world 1I should be], [3light 1I am 2the] of the world.

9:6  These things having said, he spit on the ground and he made mud from out of the spittle, and he smeared the mud upon the eyes of the blind man.

9:7  And he said to him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam! which is translated, Being sent. He went forth then and washed, and came seeing.

9:8  Then the neighbors, and the ones viewing him prior, knowing that he was blind, said, [2not 3this 1Is] the one sitting down and begging?

9:9  Others said that, This one is he. And others that, [2likened 3to him 1He is]. That one said that, I am he.

9:10  They said then to him, How were [3opened 1your 2eyes]?

9:11  That one answered and said, A man being called Jesus [2mud 1made], and smeared it upon my eyes, and said to me, Go unto the pool of Siloam, and wash! And going forth and washing, I gained sight.

9:12  They said then to him, Where is that one? He says, I know not.

9:13  They led him to the Pharisees -- the one at one time blind.

9:14  And it was the Sabbath when [3the 4mud 2made 1Jesus], and opened his eyes.

9:15  Then again [3asked 4him 5also 1the 2Pharisees] how he gained sight. And he said to them, [2mud 1He placed] to me upon the eyes, and I washed, and I see.

9:16  Said then [2from 3the 4Pharisees 1one], This man is not from God, for the Sabbath he did not give heed to. Others said, How is [3able 1a man 2a sinner] [2such 3signs 1to do]? And a split was among them.

9:17  They say then to the blind man again, You, what say you concerning him, for he opened your eyes? And he said that, He is a prophet.

9:18  [3did not 4believe 5then 1The 2Jews] concerning him, that he was blind, and gained sight, until whenever [2spoke up 1his parents], of the one gaining sight.

9:19  And they asked them saying, Is this your son, whom you say that [2blind 1he was born]? How then just now does he see?

9:20  [2answered 3to them 1His parents] and said, We know that this is our son, and that [2blind 1he was born].

9:21  But how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He [2age 1has]; ask him! he [2for 3himself 1shall speak].

9:22  These things [2said 1his parents], for they feared the Jews; for already [3agreed 1the 2Jews], that if anyone should acknowledge him as Christ, [2removed from the synagogue 1he should be].

9:23  On account of this his parents said that, [2age 1He has]; ask him!

9:24  They called then for a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner.

9:25  [3answered 1Then 2that one] and said, If he is a sinner I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see.

9:26  And they said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?

9:27  He answered to them, I told you already, and you heard not. Why again do you want to hear? Do also you want [2his 3disciples 1to become]?

9:28  Then they reviled him, and said, You are that one's disciple; but we [3of Moses 1are 2disciples].

9:29  We know that to Moses [2has spoken 1God]; but this one we do not know from what place he is.

9:30  [3answered 1The 2man] and said to them, For this is wonderful, that you do not know from where he is, and he opened my eyes.

9:31  And we know that [4sinners 1God 2does not 3hear]; but if anyone might be godly and [2his will 1should do] this one he hears.

9:32  From out of the eon it was not heard that anyone opened the eyes [2blind 1of one being born].

9:33  Unless this one was from God, he would not be able to do anything.

9:34  They answered and said to him, In sin you [2born 1were entirely], and you teach us? And they cast him outside.

9:35  Jesus heard that they cast him outside; and having found him, he said to him, Do you believe in the son of God?

9:36  That one answered and said, And who is he, O Lord, that I should believe in him?

9:37  [3said 1And 4to him 2Jesus], Both you see him and the one speaking with you is that one.

9:38  And he said, I believe, O Lord. And he did obeisance to him.

9:39  And Jesus said, For judgment I [2into 3this world 1came], that the ones not seeing shall see; and the ones seeing [2blind 1should become].

9:40  And [3heard 1some of 2these Pharisees], the ones being with him. And they said to him, And not we, are we blind?

9:41  [2said 3to them 1Jesus], If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say that, We see; therefore your sin remains.
