John 9:16-19 in English

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man isn’t from God, because He doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.

¹⁷ So they turned again to the blind man and asked, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

¹⁶ Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

¹⁶ So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man Jesus disobeys our rules about working ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►, he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, ◄he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?► RHQ” So they were divided.

¹⁷ So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “ I think he is a prophet!” So they told him to go.

¹⁸ The Jewish leaders SYN still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was now able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man's parents.

¹⁹ When they got there, one of the Jewish leaders asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? If that is true, how is he now able to see?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division amongst them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

¹⁷ Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

¹⁹ And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

¹⁶ Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore again to the blind man, What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.

¹⁸ The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

¹⁹ And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

¹⁶ Therefore 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 a division among them.

¹⁷ They said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Some of the Pharisees said, “The man who did this can't be from God because he doesn't keep the Sabbath.” But others wondered, “How could a sinner do such miracles?” So they were divided in their opinion.

¹⁷ So they went on questioning the man. “What's your opinion about him, then, since it's your eyes he opened,” they asked. “He's surely a prophet,” the man replied.

¹⁸ The Jewish leaders still refused to believe that the man who had been blind could now see until they had called in the man's parents.

¹⁹ They asked them, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? So how is it that now he can see?”

¹⁶ Then said some of the Pharises, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others sayd, Howe can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a dissension among them.

¹⁷ Then spake they vnto the blinde againe, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he sayd, He is a Prophet.

¹⁸ Then the Iewes did not beleeue him (that he had bene blinde, and receiued his sight) vntill they had called the parents of him that had receiued sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, whom ye say was borne blinde? How doeth he nowe see then?

¹⁶ Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs. And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say therefore to the blind man again, What dost thou say of him for having opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

¹⁶ “The man cannot be from God,” said some of the Pharisees, “for he does not keep the Sabbath.” “How is it possible,” retorted others, “for a bad man to give signs like this?”

¹⁷ So there was a difference of opinion amongst them, and they again questioned the man; “What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?”

¹⁸ The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.

¹⁹ “Is this your son,” they asked, “who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?”

¹⁶ “The man cannot be from God,” said some of the Pharisees, “for he does not keep the Sabbath.” “How is it possible,” retorted others, “for a bad man to give signs like this?”

¹⁷ So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man; “What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?”

¹⁸ The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.

¹⁹ “Is this your son,” they asked, “who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees Separated said, “This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath ·To cease·.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews Praisers therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Then 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.

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

¹⁸ But the Iewes dyd not beleve of the felowe how that he was blynde and receaved his syght vntyll they had called the father and mother of him that had receaved his syght.

¹⁹ And they axed the saying: Is this youre sonne whome ye saye was borne blynde? How doth he now se then?

¹⁶ Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.

¹⁷ So they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, since he opened your eyes?” The blind man said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ Now the Jews still did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.

¹⁹ They asked the parents, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division amongst them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸ But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸ The Judeans therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division amongst them.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God, that keepeth not the sabbath. Other men said, How may a sinful man do these signs, or miracles. And strife or division was among them.

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

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

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

¹⁶ Therefore 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.

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

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

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

¹⁶ Therfor 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.

¹⁶ Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

¹⁷ They said to the blind man again, 'Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?'

¹⁸ and he said — 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

¹⁹ and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'
