Bible verses about "blind" | ABU

¹ AND passing along, he saw a man blind from his birth. ² And his disciples asked him, saying: Master, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? ³ Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. ⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. Night is coming, when none can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ⁶ Having thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, ⁷ and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is interpreted, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sits and begs? ⁹ Some said: This is he; and others: He is like him; he said: I am he. ¹⁰ Therefore they said to him: How were thine eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered: A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash. And I went away and washed, and received sight. ¹² They said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not. ¹³ They bring to the Pharisees him who before was blind. ¹⁴ And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him, how he received sight. He said to them: He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. ¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, because he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, seeing that he opened thine eyes? He said: He is a Prophet. ¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him that received sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them, saying: Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then does he now see? ²⁰ His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. ²¹ But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age; ask him. He shall speak for himself. ²² These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one acknowledged him as Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. ²³ Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him. ²⁴ They therefore called a second time the man that was blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ He answered therefore: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. ²⁶ They therefore said to him: What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? ²⁷ He answered them: I told you already, and ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear again? Will ye also become his disciples? ²⁸ They reviled him, and said: Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this man we know not, whence he is. ³⁰ The man answered and said to them: Why herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes. ³¹ Now we know that God hears not sinners. But if any one is a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears. ³² Since the world began, it was not heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. ³⁴ They answered and said to him: Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. ³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him out; and finding him, he said to him: Dost thou believe on the Son of God? ³⁶ He answered and said: Who then is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that talks with thee. ³⁸ And he said: Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him. ³⁹ And Jesus said: For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not may see, and that they who see may become blind. ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him: Are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would not have sin. But now ye say: We see. Your sin remains!

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. ¹⁴ And happy shalt thou be, because they can not recompense thee; for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the righteous.

⁴ in whom the god of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, that they should not discern the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
