¹ AND as he was passing, he saw a man blind from the womb of his mother.² And his disciples asked him, saying, Raban, who sinned, this or his parents, that blind he should have been born ?³ Jeshu saith to them, Neither he sinned, nor his parents; but that there might be seen in him the works of Aloha.⁴ Me it behoveth to do the works of Him who sent me, while it is to-day: the night cometh when man cannot work.⁵ So long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.⁶ And when he had said these things, he spat upon the ground, and formed clay from his spittle, and rubbed upon the eyes of the blind,⁷ and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Shilucha. And he went, washed, and came seeing.

⁸ But his neighbours, and they who had seen (him) aforetime as he begged, said, Is not this he who sat and begged ?⁹ Some said, It is he; and some said, It is not, but one like him; but he said, I am he.¹⁰ They say to him, How were thine eyes opened ?¹¹ He answered and said to them, The man whose name is Jeshu made clay, and rubbed upon mine eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Shilucha; and I went, washed, and received sight.¹² They say to him, Where is he ? He saith to them, I know not.

¹³ They brought him who from the beginning was blind to the Pharishee.¹⁴ Now it was shabath when Jeshu made the clay and opened his eyes:¹⁵ and again the Pharishee questioned him, How didst thou receive sight ? He said to them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and received sight.¹⁶ And some of the Pharishee said, This man is not from Aloha; for the shabath he keepeth not. But others said, How can a man, a sinner, perform these signs ? And there was a division among them.¹⁷ They say again to the blind, What sayest thou concerning him, because he hath opened thine eyes ? He saith to them, I say that he is the Prophet.¹⁸ But believed not concerning him the Jihudoyee that blind he had been and made-to-see, until they called the parents of him who had been made to see,¹⁹ and asked them, If this is your son who, you say, was born blind, how now doth he see ?²⁰ His parents answered and said, We know that this (is) our son, and that blind he was born.²¹ But how he now seeth, or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. He also hath entered on his years, ask him: he for himself shall speak.²² These words said his parents, because they feared the Jihudoyee; for the Jihudoyee had determined that if any man should confess him that he was the Meshicha, they would cast him out of the synagogue:²³ on this account said his parents, He hath entered on his years, ask him.²⁴ And they called the second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Glorify Aloha: for we know that this man is a sinner.²⁵ He answered and said to them, Whether he be a sinner, I know not; but one (thing) I know, that I have been blind, and now, behold, I see.²⁶ They say to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he to thee thine eyes ?²⁷ He saith to them, I told you, and you heard not: what will you hear ? Are you also willing disciples to him to become ?²⁸ But they reviled him, and said to him, Thou art the disciple of him; but we are the disciples of Musha.²⁹ And we know that with Musha Aloha spake; but for this, we know not whence he is.³⁰ Answered the man and said to them, At this then we must wonder, that you know not from whence he is, and (yet) mine eyes he hath opened !³¹ But we know that Aloha the voice of sinners heareth not; but if any man fear him and do his will, him he heareth.³² From of old it hath not been heard that a man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.³³ If this were not from Aloha, he could not this have done.³⁴ They answered and say to him, Thou altogether wast born in sins, and art thou teaching us? And they cast him without.

³⁵ Jeshu heard that they had cast him without, and he found him, and said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of Aloha ?³⁶ He who had been cured answered and said, Who (is he), my Lord, that I may believe in him ?³⁷ Jeshu said to him, Thou hast SEEN him, and He who talketh with thee is He.³⁸ He said, I believe, my Lord ! And, falling, he adored him.

³⁹ Jeshu said to them, For the judgment of this world am I come, that they who see not may see, and they who see may be made blind.⁴⁰ And some of the Pharishee who were with him heard these (words), and they said to him, Are we blind also?⁴¹ Jeshu saith to them, If blind you were, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see: therefore your sin is confirmed.
