Now as (Jesus) was passing by , He saw a man blind from birth ,
and His - disciples asked Him ... , “ Rabbi , who sinned , this (man) or his - parents , that he was born blind ? ”
Jesus answered , “ Neither this (man) nor his - parents sinned , but (this happened) so that the works - of God would be displayed in him.
While it is daytime , we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming , when no one can work.
While I am in the world , I am (the) light of the world. ”
When (Jesus) had said (this) , He spit on (the) ground , - made (some) mud - - - , and applied - (it) to (the man’s) - eyes.
Then He told him , “ Go , wash in the Pool - of Siloam ” (which means “Sent” ). So (the man) went and washed , and came (back) seeing.
At this , (his) neighbors and those who had formerly seen ... ... him vvv vvv begging began to ask , “ Isn’t ... this the (man who) used to sit and beg ? ”
Some claimed that he was , but others said , “ No , vvv he just looks like him. ” (But the man) kept saying - , “ I am (the one). ”
“ How then {were} your - eyes opened ? ” - they asked -.
He answered , “ The man - they call Jesus made (some) mud and anointed my - eyes , and He told me to go to - Siloam and wash. So I went and washed (and) received my sight. ”
“ Where is He ? ” - they asked -. “ vvv I do not know , ” he answered.
They brought to the Pharisees (the man) who had been blind.
Now (the) day on which - Jesus had made the mud and opened his - eyes was a Sabbath.
So the Pharisees also asked him - how he had received his sight. - - (The man) answered ... , “ He put mud on my - eyes , and I washed , and (now) I can see. ”
Because of this , some of the Pharisees said , “ This - man is not from God , for vvv He does not keep the Sabbath. ” But others said , “ How can a sinful man perform such signs ? ” And there was division among them.
So once again they asked the (man who had been) blind , “ What {do} you say about Him , since (it was) your - eyes He opened ? ” - “ He is a prophet , ” - - (the man) replied.
The Jews still {did} not believe - - that (the man) had been blind and had received his sight until ... they summoned vvv vvv (his) - parents
and asked ... ... , “ Is this your - son , (the one) you say - was born blind ? So how (is it that) he can now see ... ? ”
- His - parents answered ... ... , “ We know - he is our - son , and (we know) he was born blind.
But how he can now see ... - - or who opened his - eyes , we {do} not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself. ”
His - parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews vvv had already determined that - anyone who confessed (Jesus) (as the) Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
That was why ... his - parents said - , “ He is old enough. Ask him. ”
So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said ... , “ Give glory - to God ! We know that this - man is a sinner. ”
- He answered , “ Whether He is a sinner vvv I do not know. (There is) one (thing) I do know : - I was blind , (but) now I see ! ”
“ What did He do to you ? ” - they asked -. “ How did He open your - eyes ? ”
He replied - , “ I already told ... you , and vvv you did not listen. Why do you want to hear (it) again ? {Do} you also vvv want to become His disciples ? ”
Then they heaped insults on him and said , “ You are His disciple ; - we are disciples - of Moses.
We know that - God spoke to Moses , but vvv we do not know where this (man) is {from}. ”
“ That is - reMark -able indeed ! ” the man said ... ... .... “ - - You {do} not know where He is {from} , and yet He opened my - eyes.
We know that - God vvv does not listen to sinners , but He does listen to the - one who vvv worships (Him) and does His - will.
Never vvv vvv before - {has} anyone heard of opening (the) eyes of a man born blind.
If this (man) were not from God , He could - do no such thing. ”
They replied ... ... ... , “ You were born in utter sin , and you are instructing us ? ” And they threw him out.
(When) Jesus heard that they had thrown him out , - He found (the man) (and) said , “ {Do} you believe in the Son of Man ?”
- “ Who is He , Sir ? ” he replied ... .... “ (Tell me) so that I may believe in Him. ”
vvv “ You have already seen Him , ” - Jesus answered -. - “ He is the (One) speaking with you. ”
“ Lord , I believe , ” - - he said. And he worshiped (Jesus).
Then - Jesus declared , “ For judgment I have come into this - world , so that vvv vvv the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
(Some) of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this , and they asked Him , “ Are ... we blind too ? ”
“ If you were blind , ” - Jesus replied - , vvv vvv “ you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim - (you) can see , your - guilt remains. ”
