John 9:1-41 — Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

John.9.1-41

¹And as he was passing by, he saw a man blind from birth. ²And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” ³Jesus answered, “Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but this happened so that the works of God might be revealed in him. ⁴We must do the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” ⁶After saying these things, he spat on the ground, made mud from the saliva, and put the mud on his eyes . ⁷And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. ⁸So the neighbors and those who had seen him before, because he was a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?” ⁹Some were saying, “This is he.” Others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am he.” ¹⁰So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” ¹¹That man answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and put it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received my sight.” ¹²And they said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.” ¹³They brought the man who had formerly been blind to the Pharisees. ¹⁴Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. ¹⁵So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” ¹⁶So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was division among them. ¹⁷So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about him, since he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” ¹⁸So the Jews did not believe about him that he had been blind and had regained sight, until they called the parents of the one who had regained sight. ¹⁹And they asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” ²⁰So his parents answered and said, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. ²¹But how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” ²²His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed him to be the Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. ²³For this reason his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” ²⁴So they called the man who had been blind a second time and said to him, “Give glory to God ; we know that this man is a sinner.” ²⁵That man answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know: though I was blind, now I see.” ²⁶So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” ²⁷He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not also want to become his disciples, do you?” ²⁸And they reviled him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. ²⁹We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.” ³⁰The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is the remarkable thing: you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. ³¹We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does his will, he listens to him. ³²Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” ³⁴They answered and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they threw him out. ³⁵Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man ?” ³⁶He answered, “And who is he, Sir, that I may believe in him?” ³⁷Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” ³⁸And he said, “I believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him. ³⁹And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” ⁴⁰Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, “We are not blind too, are we?” ⁴¹Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see.’ Your sin remains.”
