And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

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

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

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

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.

And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

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.”

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

“Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

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.”

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

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.

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents

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

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 them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

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.”

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

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

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

He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.

Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.

We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

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

“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

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

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.

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

If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

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

“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

“Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
