ULT YHN Chapter 9

9 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, so that he might be born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither did this one sin, nor his parents, but so that the works of God might be revealed in him. 4 It is necessary for us to work the works of the one having sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one is able to work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud from the saliva and smeared on him the mud on his eyes. 7 And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam,” (which is translated “Sent”). So he went away and washed and came back seeing. 8 Then the neighbors and the ones seeing him previously, that he was a beggar, began saying, “Is not this the one sitting and begging?” 9 Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “Not at all, but that one is like him.” He kept saying, “It is me.” 10 Therefore, they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” 11 That one answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So having gone and having washed, I received my sight.” 12 And they said to him, “Where is that one?” He said, “I do not know.”

13 They bring him, the one formerly blind, to the Pharisees. 14 (Now it was a Sabbath on the day Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.) 15 Then again the Pharisees also began asking him how he received his sight. But he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How is a man, a sinner, able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 Therefore, they ask the blind man again, “What do you say about him, since he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” 18 Therefore, the Jews did not believe about him that he was blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him having received sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20 So his parents answered and said, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees, we do not know, or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he has full maturity. He will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess him as the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Because of this, his parents said, “He has full maturity; ask him.” 24 Therefore, for a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” 25 Then that one replied, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I know: that being blind, now I see.” 26 Then they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered them, “I have told you already, and you did not listen! Why do you want to listen again? You do not want to become his disciples also, do you?” 28 And they reviled him and said, “You are a disciple of that one, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from.” 30 The man answered and said to them, “Now this is a remarkable thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not hear sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he hears this one. 32 From eternity it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one having been born blind. 33 If this one were not from God, he would not be able to do anything.” 34 They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they put him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had put him out, and having found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 That one replied and said, “And who is he, sir, so that I might believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and that one is the one speaking with you.” 38 Now he said, “Lord, I believe” and he worshiped him. 39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those not seeing might see and those seeing might become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees being with him heard these things and asked him, “We are not also blind, are we?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see.’ Your sin remains.”
