John 9:3-17

³Jhesus answeride, Nether this man synnede, nether hise eldris; but that the werkis of God be schewid in hym.

⁴It bihoueth me to worche the werkis of hym that sente me, as longe as the dai is; the nyyt schal come, whanne no man may worche.

⁵As longe as Y am in the world, Y am the liyt of the world.

⁶Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he spette in to the erthe, and made cley of the spotil, and anoyntide the cley on hise iyen,

⁷and seide to hym, Go, and be thou waisschun in the watir of Siloe, that is to seie, Sent. Thanne he wente, and waisschide, and cam seynge.

⁸And so neiyboris, and thei that hadden seyn him bifor, for he was a beggere, seiden, Whether this is not he, that sat, and beggide?

⁹Othere men seiden, That this it is; othere men seyden, Nai, but he is lijc hym.

¹⁰But he seide, That Y am. Therfor thei seiden to hym, Hou ben thin iyen openyd?

¹¹He answerde, Thilke man, that is seid Jhesus, made clei, and anoyntide myn iyen, and seide to me, Go thou to the watre of Siloe, and wassche; and Y wente, and wasschide, and say.

¹²And thei seiden to hym, Where is he? He seide, Y woot not.

¹³Thei leden hym that was blynd to the Farisees.

¹⁴And it was sabat, whanne Jhesus made cley, and openyde hise iyen.

¹⁵Eft the Farisees axiden hym, hou he hadde seyn. And he seide to hem, He leide to me cley on the iyen; and Y wasschide, and Y se.

¹⁶Therfor summe of the Fariseis seiden, This man is not of God, that kepith not the sabat. Othere men seiden, Hou may a synful man do these signes. And strijf was among hem.

¹⁷Therfor thei seien eftsoone to the blynd man, What seist thou of hym, that openyde thin iyen? And he seide, That he is a prophete.
