| John 9:1 | As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth. | And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth. | And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth. |
| John 9:2 | So His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind?" | And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind? | And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth? |
| John 9:3 | "Neither he nor his parents sinned," answered Jesus, "but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be openly shown in him. | Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him. | Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him. |
| John 9:4 | We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work. | I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work. | While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done. |
| John 9:5 | When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." | As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world. | As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. |
| John 9:6 | After thus speaking, He spat on the ground, and then, kneading the dust and spittle into clay, He smeared the clay over the man's eyes and said to him, | Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes. | Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes, |
| John 9:7 | "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" the name means `Sent.' So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see. | And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing. | And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see. |
| John 9:8 | His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" | The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging? | Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people? |
| John 9:9 | "Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, "I am the man." | Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I. | Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. |
| John 9:10 | "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked. | They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened? | So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open? |
| John 9:11 | "He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and obtained sight." | He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw. | His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see. |
| John 9:12 | "Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know. | They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know. | And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge. |
| John 9:13 | They brought him to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. | They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees. | They took him before the Pharisees this man who had been blind. |
| John 9:14 | Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath. | Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. | Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath. |
| John 9:15 | So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, "and I washed, and now I can see." | The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. | So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see. |
| John 9:16 | This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others. | Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them. | Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them. |
| John 9:17 | And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied. | They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. | Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. |
| John 9:18 | The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him that he had been blind and had obtained his sight until they called his parents and asked them, | The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight. | Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open, |
| John 9:19 | "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?" | And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see? | And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see? |
| John 9:20 | "We know," replied the parents, "that this is our son and that he was born blind; | His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; | In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth: |
| John 9:21 | but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it." | but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself. | But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself. |
| John 9:22 | Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue. | His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue. | They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue. |
| John 9:23 | That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself." | On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*. | That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him. |
| John 9:24 | A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner." | They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful. | So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner. |
| John 9:25 | "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; "one thing I know that I was once blind and that now I can see." | He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see. | He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see. |
| John 9:26 | "What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?" | And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes? | Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes? |
| John 9:27 | "I have told you already," he replied, "and you did not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also mean to be disciples of his?" | He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples? | His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples? |
| John 9:28 | Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. | They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. | And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. |
| John 9:29 | We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we do not know where he comes from." | We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is. | We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from. |
| John 9:30 | "Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes! | The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes. | The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes. |
| John 9:31 | We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens. | [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears. | We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open. |
| John 9:32 | From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth. | Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. | In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open. |
| John 9:33 | Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing." | If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing. | If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything. |
| John 9:34 | "You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue. | They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out. | Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue. |
| John 9:35 | Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" | Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God? | It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man? |
| John 9:36 | "Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may believe in Him." | He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? | He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him. |
| John 9:37 | "You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: He is now speaking to you." | And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he. | Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you. |
| John 9:38 | "I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet. | And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage. | And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship. |
| John 9:39 | "I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind." | And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind. | And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind. |
| John 9:40 | These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, "Are *we* also blind?" | And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also? | These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind? |
| John 9:41 | "If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. So your sin remains!" | Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains. | Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still. |
