9 And passing _by, he _saw a_man blind from birth.
2 And the apprentices/followers of _him asked him saying:
My _great_one, who sinned, this man or the parents of _him, in _order _that he _may _be _born blind?
3 Yaʸsous answered:
Neither this man sinned, nor the parents of _him.
[fn] But in _order _that the works of_ the _god may _be _revealed in him, 4 It _is _fitting us to _be _working the works of _the one having _sent me, until it _is day, night is _coming, when no _one is _able to _be _working.
5 Whenever I _may _be in the world, I _am the_light of _the world.
6 Having _said these things, he _spat on _the _ground and made clay of the spittle, and he _spread _on the clay of _him to his eyes.
7 And he _said to _him:
Be _going, wash in the pool of_ the _Silōam (which is _being _translated:
Having _been _sent _out).
Therefore he _went _away and washed, and came seeing.
8 Therefore the neighbors and the ones observing him the earlier, that he _was a_beggar, were _saying:
Is this not the one sitting and begging?
9 Others were _saying, that This he _is, others were _saying:
No, but he _is similar to _him.
That one was _saying, that I am he.
10 Therefore they _were _saying to _him:
How were_ the eyes of _you _opened _up?
11 That one answered, Man which being _called Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) made clay, and spread _on the eyes of _me, and said to _me, that Be _going to the Silōam and wash.
Having _gone _away therefore and having _washed, I _received _sight.
12 And they _said to _him:
Where is that one?
He _is _saying:
I _have_ not _known.
13 They _are _bringing him to the Farisaios_party, the once blind man.
14 And it _was the_day _of _rest in which day the Yaʸsous made the clay, and opened _up the eyes of _him.
15 Therefore again the Farisaios_party they _were _asking him also how he _received _sight.
And he said to _them:
He _put _on clay on the eyes of _me, and I _washed, and I _am _seeing.
16 Therefore some of the Farisaios_party were _saying, this one the man is not from god, because he _is_ not _keeping the day _of _rest.
Others were _saying:
How is_ sinful a_man _able to _be _doing such signs?
And was a_division among them.
17 Therefore they _are _saying again to _the blind man:
What are_ you _saying about him, because he _opened _up the eyes of _you?
And he said, that He _is a_prophet.
18 Therefore the Youdaiōns not believed him concerning that he _was blind and received _sight, until they _called the parents of _him of _which which having _received _sight.
19 And they _asked them saying:
This is the son of _you _all, whom you _all are _saying that he _was _born blind?
Therefore how he _is _seeing now?
20 Therefore the parents of _him answered and said:
We _have _known that this is the son of _us, and that he _was _born blind.
21 But how he _is _seeing now, we _have_ not _known, or who opened _up the eyes of _him, we have_ not _known, ask him, he he _is _having age, he will _be _speaking about himself.
22 The Parents of _him said these things, because they _were _fearing the Youdaiōns, because/for already the Youdaiōns had _decided that if anyone may _confess him the_chosen _one /messiah, he _may _become excommunicated.
23 Because _of this the parents of _him said, that Is _having age, ask.
him.
24 Therefore they _called the man who was blind out _of a_second time, and they _said to _him:
Give glory to_ the _god, we have _known that this the man is a_sinner.
25 Therefore that one answered:
Whether is a_sinner I _have_ not _known.
one thing I _have _known, that being blind, now I _am _seeing.
26 Therefore they _said to _him:
What he _did to _you?
How he _opened _up the eyes of _you?
27 He _answered to _them:
I _told to _you _all already, and you _all_ not _heard.
Why again are _you _all _wanting to _be _hearing?
are_ you _all not _wanting also to _become apprentices/followers of _him?
28 And they _insulted him, and said:
You are a_apprentice/follower, of _that one, but we are apprentices/followers of_ the _Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh).
29 We have _known that the god has _spoken to _Mōsaʸs, but we _have_ not _known this man from _where he _is.
30 the man answered and said to _them, because/for in this the is a_marvellous thing, that you _all have_ not _known from _where he _is, and _yet he _opened _up the eyes of _me.
31 We _have _known that the god is_ not _hearing from _sinners, but if any may _be god-fearing, and may _be _doing the will of _him, he _is _hearing from _this one.
32 Out _of the age it _was_ not _heard that anyone opened _up the_eyes of_ having _been _born _blind.
33 Except not/lest this man was from god, he _was_ not _able to _be _doing nothing.
34 They _answered and said to _him:
You were _born wholly in sins, and you are _teaching us?
And they _throw _out him out.
35 Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) heard that they _throw _out him out, and having _found him said:
Are_ you _believing in the son of_ the _Man?
36 That one answered:
And he _was _saying who is _he, master, in _order _that I _may _believe in him?
37 the Yaʸsous Said to _him:
You _have_ both _seen him, and the one speaking with you is that one.
38 And he was _saying:
I _am _believing, master, and he _prostrated before _him.
39 And the Yaʸsous said, I came into the this world for judgment, in _order _that the ones not seeing, may _be _seeing, and the ones seeing, may _become blind.
40 The Farisaios_party heard of these things the ones being with him, and they _said to _him:
Also are we not blind?
41 The Yaʸsous said to _them:
If you _all _were blind, you _all _were_ not _having wishfully sin, but now you _all _are _saying, that We _are _seeing, the sin of _you _all is _remaining.

9:3 Traditionally, most translations have placed a comma here (which is also a good possibility—remember that the original Greek manuscripts contain no punctuation), but this interpretation is equally valid and perhaps gives a more acceptable interpretation.
