He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 9:8 The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9:9 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he]. 9:10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 9:11 He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight. 9:12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not. 9:13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 9:14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 9:15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. 9:16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them. 9:17 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. 9:18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, 9:19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see? 9:20 His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 9:21 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself. 9:22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 9:24 So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. 9:25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 9:26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? 9:27 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 9:28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 9:29 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 9:30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes. 9:31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 9:32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man 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 finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 9:36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 9:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind. 9:40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.
