John 9:21-39 in English

²¹ but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

²² These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶ They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

²⁸ And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.

³¹ We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”

²² His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess that Jesus was the Christ, they would be put out of the synagogue.

²³ For this reason, his parents said, “Ask him. He is of age.”

²⁴ So they called the man who had been blind a second time, and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He answered, “Whether He is a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶ Then they asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples, too, do you?”

²⁸ Then they became abusive towards him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where He is from.”

³⁰ The man answered, “How amazing! You don’t know where He comes from, yet He opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God doesn’t hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.

³² Since the beginning of time it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

³³ If this man weren’t from God, He could do nothing.”

³⁴ To this they replied, “Who are you to teach us? You were born entirely in sin!” Then they threw him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

³⁶ He answered, “Who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?”

³⁷ Jesus told him, “You have seen Him, and it is He who is talking with you.”

³⁸ Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped Jesus.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who don’t see may see, and those who do see may become blind.”

²¹ 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.

²² 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.

²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ 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.

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.

²⁶ Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ 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?

²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.

²⁹ We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

³⁰ 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.

³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

³³ If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ 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?

³⁶ He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

³⁷ And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

³⁹ 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.

²¹ but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

²² These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He therefore answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶ They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

²⁸ And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.

³¹ We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they which see not may see; and that they which see may become blind.

²¹ But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough to answer questions from authorities like you He can tell you himself!”

²² The Jewish leaders SYN had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from entering their synagogues. His parents knew that, so they were afraid of the Jewish leaders SYN.

²³ That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough to answer questions, so ask him!”

²⁴ So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. When he got there, the Jewish leaders said to him, “Knowing that God is listening IDM, tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”

²⁵ He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”

²⁶ So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”

²⁷ He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not RHQ pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? ◄Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though IRO you also want to become his disciples RHQ►.”

²⁸ Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples!

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he gets any authority from!”

³⁰ The man replied, “That is very surprising! You say that you do not know where he gets any authority. But he enabled me to see!

³¹ We know that God does not help sinners who ask God to help them. Instead, he listens to and helps godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.

³² No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born like I was. That has never happened since the world began!

³³ So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything like that!”

³⁴ They replied to him, “You ◄were born as a result of your parents' sin EUP/bastard►! ◄Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!► RHQ” Then they threw him out of the synagogue.

³⁵ Jesus heard people say that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven is the Messiah?”

³⁶ The man answered, “Sir, who is he? Tell me, in order that I may believe in him.”

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. In fact, it is I, the one who am speaking to you.”

³⁸ The man said, “Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah!” Then he knelt down before Jesus and worshipped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge the people in the world. The result will be that those who realize that they do not know God's truth will perceive it. That is like MET enabling those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who falsely think IRO that they understand God's truth will never understand it. That is like MET people who are blind remaining blind permanently.”

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶ They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

²⁸ They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

³⁰ The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

³² Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴ They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

³⁶ He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁸ He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶ They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

²⁸ They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

³⁰ The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

³² Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴ They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

³⁶ He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁸ He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶ They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

²⁸ They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

³⁰ The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

³² Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴ They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

³⁶ He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁸ He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgement, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

²¹ But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

²² They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

²³ That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

²⁴ So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

²⁶ Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

²⁷ His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

²⁸ And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

³⁰ The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

³¹ We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

³² In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

³³ If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

³⁴ Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

³⁵ It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

³⁶ He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

³⁷ Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

³⁹ And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

²¹ but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him to be the Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

²³ On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.

²⁴ They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

²⁵ He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind before, now I see.

²⁶ And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

²⁸ They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses; but as to this man, we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

³¹ But we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

³² Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

³³ If this man were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

³⁸ And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

²¹ But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.

²² These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.

²⁴ They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶ They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?

²⁷ He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?

²⁸ They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.

³¹ Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.

³² From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.

³³ Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.

³⁴ They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?

³⁶ He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

³⁷ And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.

³⁹ And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see; and they who see, may become blind.

²¹ but how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²² These things his parents said because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone should confess that He was Christ, he would be excommunicated.

²³ On account of this his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

²⁴ Therefore they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this Man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I do know: that although I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶ Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

²⁸ Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses; but as for this Man, we do not know where He is from.”

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a remarkable thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!

³¹ Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

³² Since eternity past it was unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one having been born blind.

³³ If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

³⁴ They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and do you teach us?” And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and having found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

³⁶ He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is speaking with you.”

³⁸ Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see might become blind.”

²¹ but by what means he now sees we don't know, or who opened his eyes we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.

²³ That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

²⁴ So they summoned 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.”

²⁵ So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”

²⁶ So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered them: “I already told you and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become His disciples too, do you?”

²⁸ They reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses; but this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”

³⁰ The man answered and said to them: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!

³¹ Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.

³² Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God he would not be able to do anything.”

³⁴ They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into the Son of God?”

³⁶ He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?”

³⁷ So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”

³⁸ So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and those who ‘see’ may become blind.”

²¹ But we've no idea how he can see now, or who healed him. Why don't you ask him, he's old enough. He can speak for himself.”

²² The reason his parents said this was because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do. The Jewish leaders had already announced that anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.

²³ That was why his parents said, “Ask him, he's old enough.”

²⁴ Once more they called in the man who had been blind, and told him, “Give God the glory! We know this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ The man replied, “Whether he's a sinner or not, I don't know. All I know is that I was blind and now I can see.”

²⁶ Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ The man replied, “I already told you. Weren't you listening? Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples too, do you?”

²⁸ They shouted abuse at him, and said, “You're that man's disciple.

²⁹ We're disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this person, we don't even know where he comes from.”

³⁰ The man answered, “That's incredible! You don't know where he comes from but he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does what he wants.

³² Never before in the whole of history has anyone heard of a man born blind being healed.

³³ If this man weren't from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴ “You were born totally sinful, and yet you're trying to lecture us,” they replied. And they threw him out of the synagogue.

³⁵ When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he went and found the man, and asked him, “Do you trust in the Son of man?”

³⁶ The man replied, “Tell me who he is, sir, so I can put my trust in him.”

³⁷ “You've already seen him. He's the one speaking with you now!” Jesus told him.

³⁸ “I trust you, Lord!” he said, and he kneeled in worship before Jesus.

³⁹ Then Jesus told him, “I've come into the world to bring judgment so that those who are blind may see, and those who see will become blind.”

²¹ But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe.

²² These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue.

²³ Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.

²⁴ Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see.

²⁶ Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?

²⁸ Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.

²⁹ We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.

³² Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde.

³³ If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing.

³⁴ They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.

³⁵ Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God?

³⁶ He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?

³⁷ And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.

³⁸ Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.

³⁹ And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde.

²¹ 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.

²² 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.

²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ 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.

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.

²⁶ Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would you hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.

²⁹ We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

³⁰ 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.

³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

³³ If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ 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?

³⁶ He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

³⁷ And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

³⁹ 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.

²¹ but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask him, he is of age; he will speak for himself.

²² This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.

²⁴ They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

²⁵ He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

²⁶ They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

²⁷ He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become his disciples?

²⁸ They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

³² Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

³⁴ They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man?

³⁶ He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

³⁷ Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

³⁸ And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not might see, and that they who see might become blind.

²¹ but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him — he is old enough — he will tell you about himself.”

²² His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.

²³ This was why his parents said ‘He is old enough; ask him.’

²⁴ So the authorities again called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man.”

²⁵ “I know nothing about his being a bad man,” he replied; “one thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see.”

²⁶ “What did he do to you?” they asked. “How did he give you your sight?”

²⁷ “I told you just now,” he answered, “and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?”

²⁸ “You are his disciple,” they retorted scornfully; “but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses; but, as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”

³⁰ “Well,” the man replied, “this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!

³¹ We know that God never listens to bad people, but, when a person is god-fearing and does God's will, God listens to them.

³² Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as anyone's giving sight to a person born blind.

³³ If this man had not been from God, he could not have done anything at all.”

³⁴ “You,” they retorted, “were born totally depraved; and are you trying to teach us?” So they expelled him.

³⁵ Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

³⁶ “Tell me who he is, Sir,” he replied, “so that I may believe in him.”

³⁷ “Not only have you seen him,” said Jesus; “but it is he who is now speaking to you.”

³⁸ “Then, Sir, I do believe,” said the man, bowing to the ground before him;

³⁹ and Jesus added, “It was to put people to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind.”

²¹ but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him — he is old enough — he will tell you about himself.”

²² His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.

²³ This was why his parents said ‘He is old enough; ask him.’

²⁴ So the authorities again called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man.”

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews Praisers; for the Jews Praisers had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Messiah Anointed one, he would be put out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

²⁶ They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

²⁸ They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses Drawn out.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses Drawn out. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

³⁰ The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

³² Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

³³ If this man was not from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴ They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.

³⁵ Yeshua Salvation heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·?”

³⁶ He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁷ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁸ He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

³⁹ Yeshua Salvation said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

²¹ but by what meanes he now seith that can we not tell or who hath opened his eyes can we not tell. He is olde ynough axe him let him answer for him selfe.

²² Suche wordes spake his father and mother because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all redy that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ he shuld be excommunicat out of the synagoge.

²³ Therfore sayde his father and mother: he is olde ynough axe him.

²⁴ Then agayne called they the man that was blynde and sayd vnto him: Geve God the prayse: we knowe that this man is a synner.

²⁵ He answered and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or noo I cannot tell: One thinge I am sure of that I was blynde and now I se.

²⁶ Then sayde they to him agayne. What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes?

²⁷ He answered them I tolde you yerwhyle and the dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples?

²⁸ Then rated they him and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples.

²⁹ We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is.

³⁰ The man answered and sayde vnto them: this is a merveleous thinge that ye wote not whence he is seinge he hath opened myne eyes.

³¹ For we be sure that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God and do his will him heareth he.

³² Sence the worlde beganne was it not hearde that eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd.

³³ If this man were not of God he coulde have done no thinge.

³⁴ They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: and dost thou teache vs? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Iesus hearde that they had excommunicate him: and assone as he had founde him he sayd vnto him: doest thou beleve on the sonne of God?

³⁶ He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde that I myght beleve on him?

³⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him and he it is that talketh with the.

³⁸ And he sayde: Lorde I beleve: and worshipped him.

³⁹ Iesus sayde: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not myght se and they which se myght be made blynde.

²¹ How he now sees, we do not know, and who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him, he is an adult. He can speak for himself.”

²² His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess him to be the Christ, he would be thrown out of the synagogue.

²³ Because of this, his parents said, “He is an adult, ask him.”

²⁴ So for a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

²⁵ Then that man replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see.”

²⁶ Then they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁷ He answered, “I have told you already, and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his disciples too, do you?

²⁸ They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from.”

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, “This is remarkable, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.

³¹ We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to him.

³² Since the world began it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³⁴ They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and you are teaching us?” Then they threw him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out of the synagogue. He found him and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

³⁶ He replied and said, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is the one who is speaking with you.”

³⁸ The man said, “Lord, I believe” and he worshiped him.

³⁹ Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world so that those who do not see may see and so that those who see may become blind.”

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

²¹ but 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.

²² His father and mother said these things, for they dreaded the Jews; for then the Jews had conspired, that if any man acknowledged him Christ, he should be done out of the synagogue.

²³ Therefore his father and mother said, That he hath age, ask ye him.

²⁴ Therefore 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.

²⁵ Then he said, If he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that when I was blind, now I see.

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

²⁷ He answered to them, I said to you now, and ye heard; what will ye again hear? whether ye will be made his disciples?

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

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

³⁰ That 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.

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

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

³³ but this man were of God, he might not do anything.

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

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

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

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, And thou hast seen him, and he it is, that speaketh with thee.

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

³⁹ Therefore Jesus said to him, I came into this world, in doom, that they that see not, see, and they that see, be made blind.

²¹ but 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).

²² His 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.)

²³ Therefore 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.)

²⁴ Therefore 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.

²⁵ Then 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.)

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

²⁷ He 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?)

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

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

³⁰ That 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.

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

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

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

³⁴ They 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.

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

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

³⁷ And 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).

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

³⁹ Therefore Jesus said to him, I came into this world, in doom (or for judgement), (so) that they that see not, see, and they that see, be made blind.

²¹ but hou he seeth now, we witen neuer, or who openyde hise iyen, we witen nere; axe ye hym, he hath age, speke he of hym silf.

²² His fader and modir seiden these thingis, for thei dredden the Jewis; for thanne the Jewis hadden conspirid, that if ony man knoulechide hym Crist, he schulde be don out of the synagoge.

²³ Therfor his fadir and modir seiden, That he hath age, axe ye hym.

²⁴ Therfor eftsoone thei clepiden the man, that was blynd, and seiden to hym, Yyue thou glorie to God; we witen, that this man is a synnere.

²⁵ Thanne he seide, If he is a synnere, Y woot neuer; o thing Y woot, that whanne Y was blynd, now Y se.

²⁶ Therfor thei seiden to hym, What dide he to thee? hou openyde he thin iyen?

²⁷ He answerde to hem, Y seide to you now, and ye herden; what wolen ye eftsoone here? whether ye wolen be maad hise discyplis?

²⁸ Therfor thei cursiden hym, and seiden, Be thou his disciple; we ben disciplis of Moises.

²⁹ We witen, that God spak to Moises; but we knowen not this, of whennus he is.

³⁰ Thilke man answeride, and seide to hem, For in this is a wondurful thing, that ye witen not, of whennus he is, and he hath openyd myn iyen.

³¹ And we witen, that God herith not synful men, but if ony `man is worschypere of God, and doith his wille, he herith hym.

³² Fro the world it is not herd, that ony man openyde the iyen of a blynd borun man; but this were of God,

³³ he myyt not do ony thing.

³⁴ Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, Thou art al borun in synnes, and techist thou vs? And thei putten hym out.

³⁵ Jhesus herd, that thei hadden putte hym out; and whanne he hadde founde hym, he seide to hym, Bileuest thou in the sone of God?

³⁶ He answerde, and seide, Lord, who is he, that Y bileue in hym?

³⁷ And Jhesus seide to hym, And thou hast seyn him, and he it is, that spekith with thee.

³⁸ And he seide, Lord, Y byleue. And he felle doun, and worschipide hym.

³⁹ Therfore Jhesus seide to hym, Y cam in to this world, `in to doom, that thei that seen not, see, and thei that seen, be maad blynde.

²¹ and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

²² These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

²³ because of this his parents said — 'He is of age, ask him.'

²⁴ They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

²⁵ he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

²⁶ And they said to him again, 'What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'

²⁷ He answered them, 'I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'

²⁸ They reviled him, therefore, and said, 'Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;

²⁹ we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.'

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

³¹ and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

³² from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

³³ if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

³⁴ They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

³⁶ he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

³⁸ and he said, 'I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'
