John 9:1-21 ▼

1 And Iesus passed by, and sawe a man that was borne blynde.

2 And his disciples axed him, & sayde: Master, Who hath synned? this, or his elders, that he was borne blynde?

3 Iesus answered: Nether hath this synned, ner his elders, but that ye workes of God shulde be shewed on him.

4 I must worke the workes of him that hath sent me, whyle it is daye. The night commeth, whan no man can worke.

5 As longe as I am in the worlde, I am the light of the worlde.

6 Whan he had thus sayde, he spat on the grounde, and made claye of the spetle, and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde,

7 and sayde vnto him: Go thy waye to the pole of Syloha (which is interpretated, sent) and wash the. Then wete he his waye and wasshed him, and came seynge.

8 The neghbours and they that had sene him before, that he was a begger, sayde: Is not this he that sat, and begged?

9 Some sayde: It is he. Other sayde: he is like him. But he himself sayde: I am euen he.

10 Then sayde they vnto him: How are thine eyes opened?

11 He answered, and sayde: The ma that is called Iesus, made claye, and anoynted myne eyes, and sayde: Go thy waye to the pole of Siloha, and wash the. I wente my waye, & washed me, and receaued my sight.

12 Then sayde they vnto him: Where is he? He sayde: I can not tell.

13 Then brought they vnto the pharises, him that a litle before was blynde

14 It was the Sabbath, whan Iesus made the claye, and opened his eyes.

15 Then agayne the Pharises also axed him, how he had receaued his sight. He sayde vnto the: He put claye vpon myne eyes, and I wasshed me, & now I se.

16 Then sayde some of the pharises: This man is not of God, seynge he kepeth not ye Sabbath. But the other sayde: How can a synfull man do soch tokens? And there was a stryfe amonge the.

17 They sayde agayne vnto ye blynde: What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He sayde: he is a prophet.

18 The Iewes beleued not hi, that he was blynde, and had receaued his sight, tyll they called the elders of him, that had receaued his sight,

19 and they axed them, and sayde: Is this youre sonne, whom ye saye, was borne blynde? How doth he now se then?

20 His elders answered them, and sayde: We knowe, that this is oure sonne, and that he was borne blynde.

21 But how he now seyeth, we can not tell: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell. He is olde ynough himself, axe him, let him speake for him self.
