9:1 |
nd as Iesus passed by, he saw a man which was blinde from his birth. |
|
9:2 |
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde? |
|
9:3 |
Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the workes of God should be made manifest in him. |
|
9:4 |
I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke. |
|
9:5 |
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. |
|
9:6 |
When 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, |
|
9:7 |
And 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. |
|
9:8 |
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seene him, that he was blinde, said, Is not this he that sate and begged? |
|
9:9 |
Some said, This is hee: others said, Hee is like him: but hee sayd, I am hee. |
|
9:10 |
Therefore said they vnto him, How were thine eyes opened? |
|
9:11 |
He 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. |
|
9:12 |
Then said they vnto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. |
|
9:13 |
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. |
|
9:14 |
And it was the Sabbath day when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. |
|
9:15 |
Then 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. |
|
9:16 |
Therefore 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. |
|
9:17 |
They say vnto the blind man againe, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, Hee is a Prophet. |
|
9:18 |
But 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. |
|
9:19 |
And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, who ye say was borne blind? how then doth he now see? |
|
9:20 |
His parents answered them, and said, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blind: |
|
9:21 |
But 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. |
|
9:22 |
These 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. |
|
9:23 |
Therefore said his parents, He is of age, aske him. |
|
9:24 |
Then againe called they the man that was blind, and said vnto him, Giue God the praise, we know that this man is a sinner. |
|
9:25 |
He 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. |
|
9:26 |
Then saide they to him againe, What did he to thee? How opened hee thine eyes? |
|
9:27 |
He answered them, I haue told you already, and ye did not heare: wherfore would you heare it againe? Will ye also be his disciples? |
|
9:28 |
Then they reuiled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are Moses disciples. |
|
9:29 |
Wee know that God spake vnto Moses: as for this fellow, we knowe not from whence he is. |
|
9:30 |
The 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. |
|
9:31 |
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man bee a worshipper of God, and doth his will, him he heareth. |
|
9:32 |
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde: |
|
9:33 |
If this man were not of God, he could doe nothing. |
|
9:34 |
They answered, and saide vnto him, Thou wast altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? And they cast him out. |
|
9:35 |
Iesus 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? |
|
9:36 |
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue on him? |
|
9:37 |
And Iesus said vnto him, Thou hast both seene him, and it is he that talketh with thee. |
|
9:38 |
And he said, Lord, I beleeue: and he worshipped him. |
|
9:39 |
And 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. |
|
9:40 |
And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words, and saide vnto him, Are wee blinde also? |
|
9:41 |
Iesus saide vnto them, If yee were blind, ye should haue no sinne: but now ye say, We see, therfore your sinne remaineth. |
