The Good News According to Yochanan, Chapter 9
{9:1} As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. {9:2} His
disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that
he was born blind?"
{9:3} Yeshua answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents;
but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. {9:4} I must work
the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming,
when no one can work. {9:5} While I am in the world, I am the light of
the world." {9:6} When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made
mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud, {9:7}
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means
"Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. {9:8} The
neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said,
"Isn't this he who sat and begged?" {9:9} Others were saying, "It is
he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him."
He said, "I am he." {9:10} They therefore were asking him, "How were
your eyes opened?"
{9:11} He answered, "A man called Yeshua 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."
{9:12} Then they asked him, "Where is he?"
He said, "I don't know."
{9:13} They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. {9:14}
It was a Sabbath when Yeshua made the mud and opened his eyes. {9:15}
Again 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."
{9:16} Some 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. {9:17}
Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him,
because he opened your eyes?"
He said, "He is a prophet."
{9:18} The Judeans 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, {9:19} and asked them, "Is
this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
{9:20} His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and
that he was born blind; {9:21} but 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." {9:22} His parents said these things because they
feared the Judeans; for the Judeans had already agreed that if any man
would confess him as Messiah, he would be put out of the synagogue.
{9:23} Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
{9:24} So 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."
{9:25} He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One
thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
{9:26} They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he
open your eyes?"
{9:27} He 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?"
{9:28} They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are
disciples of Moses. {9:29} We know that God has spoken to Moses. But
as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."
{9:30} The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he
comes from, yet he opened my eyes. {9:31} We know that God doesn't
listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his
will, he listens to him.[1] {9:32} Since the world began it has never
been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
{9:33} If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
{9:34} They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do
you teach us?" They threw him out.
{9:35} Yeshua heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him,
he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
{9:36} He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
{9:37} Yeshua said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who
speaks with you."
{9:38} He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.
{9:39} Yeshua said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those
who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
{9:40} Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things,
and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
{9:41} Yeshua said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no
sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.
