9:1  And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,
9:2  and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'
9:3  Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;
9:4  it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --
9:5  when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'
9:6  These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
9:7  `Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;
9:8  the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'
9:9  others said -- `This is he;' and others -- `He is like to him;' he himself said, -- `I am [he].'
9:10  They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'
9:11  he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'
9:12  they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he saith, `I have not known.'
9:13  They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,
9:14  and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
9:15  Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'
9:16  Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.
9:17  They said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?'
9:18  and he said -- `He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,
9:19  and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'
9:20  His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
9:21  and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'
9:22  These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
9:23  because of this his parents said -- `He is of age, ask him.'
9:24  They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'
9:25  he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'
9:26  And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'
9:27  He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'
9:28  They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;
9:29  we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'
9:30  The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!
9:31  and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;
9:32  from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;
9:33  if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'
9:34  They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.
9:35  Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'
9:36  he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'
9:37  And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'
9:38  and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.
9:39  And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'
9:40  And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?'
9:41  Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.
