9John 9

1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.Select John 9:1

2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”Select John 9:2

3Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.Select John 9:3

4I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.Select John 9:4

5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”Select John 9:5

6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,Select John 9:6

7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.Select John 9:7

8The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”Select John 9:8

9Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”Select John 9:9

10They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”Select John 9:10

11He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”Select John 9:11

12Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”Select John 9:12

13They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.Select John 9:13

14It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.Select John 9:14

15Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”Select John 9:15

16Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.Select John 9:16

17Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”Select John 9:17

18The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,Select John 9:18

19and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”Select John 9:19

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

21but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”Select John 9:21

22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.Select John 9:22

23Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”Select John 9:23

24So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”Select John 9:24

25He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”Select John 9:25

26They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”Select John 9:26

27He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”Select John 9:27

28They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.Select John 9:28

29We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”Select John 9:29

30The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.Select John 9:30

31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.Select John 9:31

32Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.Select John 9:32

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

34They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.Select John 9:34

35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”Select John 9:35

36He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”Select John 9:36

37Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”Select John 9:37

38He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.Select John 9:38

39Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”Select John 9:39

40Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”Select John 9:40

41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.Select John 9:41
