John 9:2-17

²And his disciples axed him sayinge. Master who dyd synne: this man or his father and mother that he was borne blynde.

³Iesus answered: Nether hath this man synned nor yet his father and mother: but that the workes of God shuld be shewed on him.

⁴I must worke the workes of him that sent me whyll it is daye. The nyght cometh when no man can worke.

⁵As longe as I am in the worlde I am the lyght of the worlde.

⁶Assone as he had thus spoken he spate on the grounde and made claye of the spetle and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde

⁷and sayde vnto him: Goo wesshe the in the pole of Syloe which by interpretacion signifieth sent. He went his waye and wasshed and cam agayne seinge.

⁸The neghboures and they that had sene him before how that he was a begger sayde: is not this he that sate and begged?

⁹Some sayde: this is he. Other sayd: he is lyke him. But he him selfe sayde: I am even he.

¹⁰They sayde vnto him: How are thyne eyes opened then?

¹¹He answered and sayde. The man that is called Iesus made claye and anoynted myne eyes and sayd vnto me: Goo to the pole Syloe and wesshe. I went and wesshed and receaved my syght.

¹²They sayde vnto him: where is he? He sayde: I cannot tell.

¹³Then brought they to the pharises him that a lytell before was blynde:

¹⁴for it was the Saboth daye when Iesus made the claye and opened his eyes.

¹⁵Then agayne the pharises also axed him how he had receaved his syght. He sayde vnto the: He put claye apon myne eyes and I wasshed and do se.

¹⁶Then sayde some of the pharises: this man is not of God because he kepeth not the saboth daye. Other sayde: how can a man that is a synner do suche myracles? And ther was stryfe amonge them.

¹⁷Then spake they vnto the blynde agayne: What sayst thou of him because he hath openned thyne eyes? And he sayd: He is a Prophet.
