1 |
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. |
2 |
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? |
3 |
YAHUSHUA answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of YAHUVEH should be made manifest in him. |
4 |
We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. |
5 |
When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. |
6 |
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, |
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. |
8 |
The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? |
9 |
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 YAHUSHUA 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 YAHUSHUA 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 YAHUVEH, 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. |
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 Messiah, 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 YAHUVEH: 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 YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of YAHUVEH, 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 YAHUVEH, 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 |
YAHUSHUA heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of YAHUVEH? |
36 |
He answered and said, And who is he, Master, that I may believe on him? |
37 |
YAHUSHUA said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. |
38 |
And he said, Master, I believe. And he worshipped him. |
39 |
And YAHUSHUA 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 |
YAHUSHUA said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth. |
