Iohn 9

¹And as Iesus passed by, he saw a man which was blinde from his birth.

²And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?

³Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the workes of God should be made manifest in him.

⁴I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.

⁵As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

⁶When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and he anointed the eyes of the blinde man with the clay,

⁷And said vnto him, Goe wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therfore, and washed, and came seeing.

⁸The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seene him, that he was blinde, said, Is not this he that sate and begged?

⁹Some said, This is hee: others said, Hee is like him: but hee sayd, I am hee.

¹⁰Therefore said they vnto him, How were thine eyes opened?

¹¹He answered and said, A man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I receiued sight.

¹²Then said they vnto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

¹³They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

¹⁴And it was the Sabbath day when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵Then againe the Pharisees also asked him how he had receiued his sight. He said vnto them, Hee put clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.

¹⁶Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because hee keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a diuision among them.

¹⁷They say vnto the blind man againe, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, Hee is a Prophet.

¹⁸But the Iewes did not beleeue concerning him, that hee had bin blind, and receiued his sight, vntill they called the parents of him that had receiued his sight.

¹⁹And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, who ye say was borne blind? how then doth he now see?

²⁰His parents answered them, and said, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blind:

²¹But by what meanes he now seeth, we know not, or who hath opened his eyes we know not: hee is of age, aske him, he shall speake for himselfe.

²²These words spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had agreed already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be put out of the Synagogue.

²³Therefore said his parents, He is of age, aske him.

²⁴Then againe called they the man that was blind, and said vnto him, Giue God the praise, we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵He answered, and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶Then saide they to him againe, What did he to thee? How opened hee thine eyes?

²⁷He answered them, I haue told you already, and ye did not heare: wherfore would you heare it againe? Will ye also be his disciples?

²⁸Then they reuiled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are Moses disciples.

²⁹Wee know that God spake vnto Moses: as for this fellow, we knowe not from whence he is.

³⁰The man answered, and said vnto them, Why herein is a marueilous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

³¹Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man bee a worshipper of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.

³²Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde:

³³If this man were not of God, he could doe nothing.

³⁴They answered, and saide vnto him, Thou wast altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? And they cast him out.

³⁵Iesus heard that they had cast him out; and when hee had found him, he said vnto him, Doest thou beleeue on the Sonne of God?

³⁶He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue on him?

³⁷And Iesus said vnto him, Thou hast both seene him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

³⁸And he said, Lord, I beleeue: and he worshipped him.

³⁹And Iesus said, For iudgment I am come into this world, that they which see not, might see, and that they which see, might be made blind.

⁴⁰And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words, and saide vnto him, Are wee blinde also?

⁴¹Iesus saide vnto them, If yee were blind, ye should haue no sinne: but now ye say, We see, therfore your sinne remaineth.
