John 9:24-41 ▼

24 So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory {doxan} to God {Theō}! We know that this man is a sinner.

25 He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!

26 “What did He do to you? they asked. “How did He open your eyes?

27 He replied, “I already told you⁺, and you⁺ did not listen. Why do you⁺ want to hear it again? Do you⁺ also want to become His disciples (pupils)?

28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple (pupil); we are disciples (pupils) of Moses (drawn out).

29 We know that God {Theos} spoke to Moses (drawn out), but we do not know where this man is from.

30 “That is remarkable indeed! the man said. “You⁺ do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

31 We know that God {Theos} does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

32 Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.

33 If this man were not from God {Theou}, He could do no such thing.

34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing {didaskeis} us? And they threw him out.

35 When Jesus (YHWH saves) heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man [the Son of God]

36 “Who is He, Sir {Kyrie}? he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.

37 “You have already seen Him, Jesus (YHWH saves) answered. “He is the One speaking with you.

38 “Lord {Kyrie}, I believe, he said. And he worshiped Jesus.

39 Then Jesus (YHWH saves) declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”

40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?

41 “If you⁺ were blind, Jesus (YHWH saves) replied, “you⁺ would not be guilty of sin. But since you⁺ claim you can see, your⁺ guilt remains.
