¹ And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.² And his disciples questioned him, saying - Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?³ Jesus answered - Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should be made manifest in him.⁴ We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.⁵ Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.⁶ These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;⁷ and said unto him - Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam, - which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.

⁸ The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime - that he was, a beggar, were saying - Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?⁹ Others, were saying - 'Tis, the same. Others, were saying - Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying - I, am he.¹⁰ So they were saying unto him - How thenwere thine eyes opened?¹¹ He, answered - The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.¹² And they said unto him - Where is, He? He saith - I know not.

¹³ They bring him unto the Pharisees - him at one time blind.¹⁴ Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes.¹⁵ Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them - Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, - and do see.¹⁶ Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying - This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, howeverwere saying - How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.¹⁷ So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said - A prophet, is he.¹⁸ The Jews, therefore, did not believe, concerning him, that he was blind, and received sight, - until they called the parents of him that had received sight,¹⁹ and questioned them, saying - Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?²⁰ His parents, therefore, answered, and said - We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;²¹ But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not, - Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.²² These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, - for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.²³ For this cause, his parents said - He is, of age, - question him.²⁴ So they called the man a second time - him who had been blind, and said unto him - Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner.²⁵ He, therefore, answered - Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, - That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see!²⁶ They said, therefore, unto him - What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?²⁷ He answered them - I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?²⁸ And they reviled him, and said - Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses', disciples: - ²⁹ We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; but, as for this man, we know not whence he is.³⁰ The man answered, and said unto them - Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.³¹ We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.³² Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born.³³ If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing.³⁴ They answered and said unto him - In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said - Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man?³⁶ He answered and said- And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?³⁷ Jesus said unto him - Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he.³⁸ And, he, said - I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.

³⁹ And Jesus said - For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.⁴⁰ They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him - Are, we also, blind?⁴¹ Jesus said unto them - If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.
