When the night comes, no one is able to work. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>After saying these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to the eyes of the blind man. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And He said to him, "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is, by interpretation, "Sent"). Then he went and washed, and came from there seeing. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Therefore, the neighbors and those who had seen him before, and knew that he was blind, said, "Isn't he the one who was sitting and begging?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Some said, "It is he." But others said, "He is like him." He said, "I am the one." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay, and applied it to my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash'; and after I went and washed, I received sight." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>They brought him who was once blind to the Pharisees. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Now it was the Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Therefore, the Pharisees in turn also asked him how he had received sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed; and now I see." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Then 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 miracles?" And there was a division among them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>However, the Jews did not believe this about him, that he was blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received sight. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>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." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if anyone confessed Him to be the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>For this reason, his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Therefore, they called a second time for the man who had been born blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this Man is a sinner." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then he answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that I was blind, and now I see." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>And they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>He answered them, "I have already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you desire to become His disciples, too?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Then they railed at him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>We know that God spoke to Moses. As for this Man, we do not know where He has come from." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>The man answered and said to them, "This is truly an amazing thing, that you do not know where He has come from, yet He has opened my eyes. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Now we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is God-fearing and is doing His will, He hears him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>From the beginning of the world it has never been heard of that anyone has opened the eyes of one who was born blind. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>If this man were not from God, He could do nothing." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>They answered and said to him, "You were born wholly in sin, and you are teaching us?" And they cast him out.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>And Jesus said to him, "You have seen Him, and He is the One Who is even now speaking to you." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>Then he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world so that those who do not see might see, and those who see might become blind." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things; and they said to Him, "Are we also blind?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, 'We see. ' Therefore, your sin remains."</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><a href="https://afaithfulversion.org/">A Faithful Version</a><br><br>Copyright © 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011<br>York Publishing Company<br>Post Office Box 1038<br>Hollister, California 95024-1038<br><br>All rights reserved.<br>All Scripture may be freely quoted except for brief excerpts for review purposes, no part of this publication may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means--electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording or information storage and retrieval systems, or use of hermeneutical conclusions of copyright owner.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="../john/8.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="John 8"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="John 8" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../john/10.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="John 10"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="John 10" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></body></html>
