John 9:12-38

¹²And they said to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

¹³They led him that was blind to the Pharisees.

¹⁴And it was (the) sabbath, when Jesus made clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵Again the Pharisees asked him, how he had seen. And he said to them, He laid to me or He put to me clay on the eyes (or He put some clay on my eyes); and I washed, and (now) I see.

¹⁶Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God, that keepeth not the sabbath, (or And so some of the Pharisees said, This man cannot be from God, for he keepeth not the Sabbath). Other men said, How may a sinful man do these signs, or miracles. And strife or division was among them.

¹⁷Therefore they said again to the blind man, What sayest thou of him, that opened thine eyes? And he said, That he is a prophet.

¹⁸Therefore the Jews believed not of him, that he was blind, and had seen, till they called his father and mother, that had seen.

¹⁹And they asked them, and said, Is this your son, which ye say was born blind? how then seeth he now?

²⁰His father and mother answered to them, and said, We know, that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²¹but how he seeth now, we know not, or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask ye him, he hath age, speak he of himself, (or you ask him, he is old enough, yea, let him speak for himself).

²²His father and mother said these things, for they dreaded the Jews; for then the Jews had conspired, that if any man acknowledged him (as) Christ, he should be done out of the synagogue. (His father and mother said these things, for they feared the Jews; for then the Jews had conspired together, that if anyone acknowledged him as the Messiah, they would be put out of the synagogue.)

²³Therefore his father and mother said, That he hath age, ask ye him. (And so his father and mother said, He is old enough, you ask him.)

²⁴Therefore again they called the man, that was blind, and said to him, Give thou glory to God; we know, that this man is a sinner.

²⁵Then he said, If he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that when I was blind, now I see. (Then he said, If he is a sinner, I do not know; but the one thing I do know, is that before I was blind, and now I can see.)

²⁶Therefore they said to him, What did he (do) to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷He answered to them, I said to you now, and ye heard (me); what will ye again hear (it)? whether ye will be made his disciples? (He answered to them, I told you before, and ye heard me; why will ye hear it again? will ye also be made his disciples?)

²⁸Therefore they cursed him, and said, Be thou (made) his disciple; we be the disciples of Moses.

²⁹We know, that God spake to Moses; but we know not this (man), of whence he is.

³⁰That man answered, and said to them, For in this is a wonderful thing, that ye know not, of whence he is, and he hath opened mine eyes.

³¹And we know, that God heareth not sinful men, but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, he heareth him.

³²From the world it is not heard (of), that any man opened the eyes of a blind-born man (or of someone born blind);

³³no but this man were of God, he might not do anything. (unless this man was from God, he could not do anything.)

³⁴They answered, and said to him, Thou art all born in sins, and teachest thou us? or and thou teachest us? And they put him out.

³⁵Jesus heard, that they had put him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?

³⁶He answered, and said, Lord, who is he, (so) that I (can) believe in him?

³⁷And Jesus said to him, And thou hast seen him, and he it is, that speaketh with thee, (or and it is he, who speaketh with thee now).

³⁸And he said, Lord, I believe. And he fell down, and worshipped him.
