Night is coming on, when no one can work. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>When 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 thus speaking, He spat on the ground, and then, kneading the dust and spittle into clay, He smeared the clay over the man's eyes and said to him, <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>"Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" —the name means 'Sent.' So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>"Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, "I am the man." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>"How then were your eyes opened?" they asked. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>"He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and obtained sight." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>"Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know.</p> <p class="hdg">The Pharisees Investigate</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>They brought him to the Pharisees—the man who had been blind. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, "and I washed, and now I can see." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? —for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him—that he had been blind and had obtained his sight—until they called his parents and asked them, <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>"Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>"We know," replied the parents, "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 it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>"Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; "one thing I know—that I was once blind and that now I can see." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>"What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>"I have told you already," he replied, "and you did not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also mean to be disciples of his?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we do not know where he comes from." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>"Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes! <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>"You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue.</p> <p class="hdg">Spiritual Sight and Blindness</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>"Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may believe in Him." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>"You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: He is now speaking to you." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>"I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>"I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, "Are *we* also blind?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/9-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>"If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see.
