John 9 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Healing the Man Born Blind

As Jesus passed^G3855 by, He saw^G3708 a man^G444 who had been blind^G5185 from birth^G1079.

Jhn 9:2And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

Jhn 9:3Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Jhn 9:4

Jhn 9:4“We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

Jhn 9:5

Jhn 9:5“While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

Jhn 9:6

Jhn 9:6When He had said this, He spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes,

Jhn 9:7

Jhn 9:7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he left and washed, and came back seeing.

Jhn 9:8

Jhn 9:8So the neighbors, and those who previously saw [fn]him as a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?”

Jhn 9:9

Jhn 9:9Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” [fn]The man himself kept saying, “I am the one.”

Jhn 9:10

Jhn 9:10So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?”

Jhn 9:11

Jhn 9:11He answered, “The Man who is called Jesus made mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

Jhn 9:12

Jhn 9:12And they said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

Controversy over the Man

Jhn 9:13

They *brought^G71 [fn]the man who was previously^G4218 blind^G5185 to the Pharisees^G5330.

Jhn 9:14

Jhn 9:14Now it was a Sabbath on the day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

Jhn 9:15

Jhn 9:15Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied mud to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

Jhn 9:16

Jhn 9:16Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such [fn]signs?” And there was dissension among them.

Jhn 9:17

Jhn 9:17So they *said again to the man who was blind, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

Jhn 9:18

The Jews^G2453 then^G3767 did not believe^G4100 it about^G4012 him, that he had been^G1510 blind^G5185 and had received^G308 sight^G308, until^G2193 they called^G5455 the parents^G1118 of the very^G846 one^G846 who had received^G308 his sight^G308,

Jhn 9:19

Jhn 9:19and they questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

Jhn 9:20

Jhn 9:20His parents then answered and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

Jhn 9:21

Jhn 9:21but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

Jhn 9:22

Jhn 9:22His parents said this because they were afraid of the [fn]Jews; for the Jews had already reached the decision that if anyone confessed Him to be [fn]Christ, he was to be excommunicated from the synagogue.

Jhn 9:23

Jhn 9:23It was for this reason that his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

Jhn 9:24

So^G3767 for a second^G1208 time^G1208 they summoned^G5455 the man^G444 who^G3739 had been^G1510 blind^G5185, and said^G3004 to him, “Give^G1325 glory^G1391 to God^G2316; we know^G6063 that this^G3778 Man^G444 is a sinner^G268.”

Jhn 9:25

Jhn 9:25He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

Jhn 9:26

Jhn 9:26So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

Jhn 9:27

Jhn 9:27He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”

Jhn 9:28

Jhn 9:28They spoke abusively to him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Jhn 9:29

Jhn 9:29“We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this Man, we do not know where He is from.”

Jhn 9:30

Jhn 9:30The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is the amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes!

Jhn 9:31

Jhn 9:31“We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if someone is [fn]God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

Jhn 9:32

Jhn 9:32“[fn]Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

Jhn 9:33

Jhn 9:33“If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

Jhn 9:34

Jhn 9:34They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and yet you are teaching us?” So they [fn]put him out.

Jesus Affirms His Deity

Jhn 9:35

Jesus^G2424 heard^G191 that they had [fn]put^G1544 him out^G1544, and upon finding^G2147 him, He said^G3004, “Do you believe^G4100 in the Son^G5207 of Man^G444?”

Jhn 9:36

Jhn 9:36He answered [fn]by saying, “And who is He, [fn]Sir, that I may believe in Him?”

Jhn 9:37

Jhn 9:37Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the One who is talking with you.”

Jhn 9:38

Jhn 9:38And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped Him.

Jhn 9:39

Jhn 9:39And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”

Jhn 9:40

Jhn 9:40Those who were with Him from the Pharisees heard these things and said to Him, “We are not blind too, are we?”

Jhn 9:41

Jhn 9:41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now that you maintain, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
