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 spat on the ground and made clay with the spittle; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay
9:7  and said unto him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which interpreted means, “Sent”). He went his way therefore and washed, and came back seeing.
9:8  The neighbors therefore, and those who before had seen 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 unto him, “How were thine eyes opened?”
9:11  He answered and said, “A man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ And I went and washed, and I received sight.”
9:12  Then they said unto him, “Where is he?” He said, “I know not.”
9:13  They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand was blind.
9:14  And it was the Sabbath day 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 unto them, “He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed and do see.”
9:16  Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles?” And there was a division among them.
9:17  They said unto the blind man again, “What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine 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 shall speak for himself.”
9:22  These words spoke his parents, 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 they again called the man who was blind and said unto him, “Give God the praise! We know that this man is a sinner.”
9:25  He answered and said, “Whether he be a sinner or not, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.”
9:26  Then said they to him again, “What did he do to thee? How opened he thine 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 Moses’ disciples.
9:29  We know that God spoke unto Moses. As for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.”
9:30  The man answered and said unto them, “Why, herein is a marvelous thing: that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
9:31  Now we know that God heareth not sinners, but if any man be a worshiper of God and doeth His will, him He heareth.
9:32  Since the world began it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
9:33  If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
9:34  They answered and said unto 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 unto him, “Dost thou believe in the Son of God?”
9:36  He answered and said, “Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?”
9:37  And Jesus said unto 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 that see not might see, and that they that see might be made blind.”
9:40  And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, “Are we blind also?”
9:41  Jesus said unto them, “If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now ye say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remaineth.
