John 9 King James Version 1611

From Textus Receptus

• 1 And as Iesus passed by, he saw a man which was blinde from his birth.
• 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?
• 3 Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the workes of God should be made manifest in him.
• 4 I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.
• 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
• 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and he anointed the eyes of the blinde man with the clay,
• 7 And said vnto him, Goe wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therfore, and washed, and came seeing.
• 8 ¶ The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seene him, that he was blinde, said, Is not this he that sate and begged?
• 9 Some said, This is hee: others said, Hee is like him: but hee sayd, I am hee.
• 10 Therefore said they vnto him, How were thine eyes opened?
• 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I receiued sight.
• 12 Then said they vnto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
• 13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
• 14 And it was the Sabbath day when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
• 15 Then againe the Pharisees also asked him how he had receiued his sight. He said vnto them, Hee put clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.
• 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because hee keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a diuision among them.
• 17 They say vnto the blind man againe, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, Hee is a Prophet.
• 18 But the Iewes did not beleeue concerning him, that hee had bin blind, and receiued his sight, vntill they called the parents of him that had receiued his sight.
• 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, who ye say was borne blind? how then doth he now see?
• 20 His parents answered them, and said, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blind:
• 21 But by what meanes he now seeth, we know not, or who hath opened his eyes we know not: hee is of age, aske him, he shall speake for himselfe.
• 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had agreed already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be put out of the Synagogue.
• 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age, aske him.
• 24 Then againe called they the man that was blind, and said vnto him, Giue 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 saide they to him againe, What did he to thee? How opened hee thine eyes?
• 27 He answered them, I haue told you already, and ye did not heare: wherfore would you heare it againe? Will ye also be his disciples?
• 28 Then they reuiled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are Moses disciples.
• 29 Wee know that God spake vnto Moses: as for this fellow, we knowe not from whence he is.
• 30 The man answered, and said vnto them, Why herein is a marueilous 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 bee a worshipper of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.
• 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, he could doe nothing.
• 34 They answered, and saide vnto him, Thou wast altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? And they cast him out.
• 35 Iesus heard that they had cast him out; and when hee had found him, he said vnto him, Doest thou beleeue on the Sonne of God?
• 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue on him?
• 37 And Iesus said vnto him, Thou hast both seene him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
• 38 And he said, Lord, I beleeue: and he worshipped him.
• 39 ¶ And Iesus said, For iudgment I am come into this world, that they which see not, might see, and that they which see, might be made blind.
• 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words, and saide vnto him, Are wee blinde also?
• 41 Iesus saide vnto them, If yee were blind, ye should haue no sinne: but now ye say, We see, therfore your sinne remaineth.
