John 9 And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb. ² And his disciples asked him, and said: Our Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ³ Jesus said to them: Neither did he sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be seen in him. ⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, in which no one can work. ⁵ So long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ⁶ And having spoken thus, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and spread it on the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him: Go, wash in the baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away seeing. ⁸ And his neighbors, and they by whom he had before been seen begging, said: Is not this he, who sat and begged? ⁹ Some said, It is he: and others said, No; but he is very like him. But he said: I am he. ¹⁰ And they said to him: How were thy eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered, and said to them: A man whose name is Jesus, made mud and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Siloam. And I went, and washed, and my sight was restored. ¹² They said to him: Where is he? He said to them: I know not. ¹³ And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees. ¹⁴ Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ And again the Pharisees asked him: How was thy sight restored? And he said to them: He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and my sight was restored. ¹⁶ And some of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, for he doth not observe the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner, work these signs? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that he is a prophet. ¹⁸ And the Jews would not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and recovered sight, until they called the parents of him who recovered sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them: Is this your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? And how doth he now see? ²⁰ And his parents answered and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; ²¹ but how he now seeth, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He hath come to his years, ask him; he will speak for himself. ²² These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had decided, that if any one should confess him to be Messiah, they would expel him from the synagogue. ²³ For this reason his parents said, He hath come to his years, ask him. ²⁴ And they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; for we know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ He replied, and said to them: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; but, one thing I know, that I was blind, and lo, now I see. ²⁶ They said to him again: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes? ²⁷ He said to them: I have told you, and ye did not hear. Why would ye hear again? Do ye also wish to become his disciples? ²⁸ But they reproached him, and said to him: Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. ²⁹ And we know that God conversed with Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. ³⁰ The man replied and said to them: In this therefore is something to be admired, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes. ³¹ Now we know, that God heareth not the voice of sinners; but him that feareth him, and doeth his pleasure, him he heareth. ³² Never hath it been heard, that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³ If this man were not of God, he could not do this thing. ³⁴ They replied, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they expelled him. ³⁵ And Jesus heard that they had expelled him; and he found him, and said to him: Believest thou on the Son of God? ³⁶ And he that was healed, answered and said: My Lord, who is he, that I may believe on him? ³⁷ Jesus said to him: Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. ³⁸ And he said: My Lord, I believe: and he fell down, and worshipped him. ³⁹ And Jesus said: For the judgment of this world, have I come; that they who see not, might see; and that they who see, might become blind. ⁴⁰ And some of those Pharisees who were with him, heard these things; and they said to him: How? Are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would be without sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is established.
