¹ And as Iesus passed by, he sawe 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 shewed on 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 Assoone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and anointed the eyes of the blinde with the clay,⁷ And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing.

⁸ Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged?⁹ Some said, This is he: and other sayd, He is like him: but he himselfe sayd, I am he.¹⁰ Therefore they sayd vnto him, Howe were thine eyes opened?¹¹ He answered, and sayd, The man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and sayde vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and receiued sight.¹² Then they sayd vnto him, Where is he? He sayd, I can not tell.

¹³ They brought to the Pharises him that was once blinde.¹⁴ And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.¹⁵ Then againe the Pharises also asked him, how he had receiued sight. And hee sayd vnto them, He layd clay vpon mine eyes, & I washed, and doe 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?²⁰ His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, & that he was borne blinde:²¹ But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe.²² These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue.²³ Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.²⁴ Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner.²⁵ Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see.²⁶ Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes?²⁷ Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?²⁸ Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.²⁹ We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.³⁰ The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.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, hee could haue done nothing.³⁴ They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out.

³⁵ Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God?³⁶ He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him?³⁷ And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee.³⁸ Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him.

³⁹ And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde.⁴⁰ And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, & sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also?⁴¹ Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.
