1And as Iesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth, 2And his disciples asked him saying. Master, who did sin: this man, or his father and mother, that he was born blind? 3Iesus answered: Neither this man hath sinned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the works of God should be shewed on him. 4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind, 7and said unto him: Go wash thee in the pool of Siloe (which by interpretation, signifieth sent.) He went his way and washed, and came again seeing. 8The neighbours, and they that had seen him before how that he was a beggar said: Is not this he that sat and begged? 9Some said: this is he. Other said: he is like him. He himself said: I am even he. 10They said unto him: How are thine eyes opened then? 11He answered and said: The man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Go to the pool Siloe, and wash. I went and washed and received my sight. 12They said unto him: where is he? He said: I cannot tell.

13Then brought they to the pharises, him that a little before was blind. 14(It was the saboth day when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.) 15Then again the pharises also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them: He put clay upon mine eyes, And I washed, and I see. 16Then said some of the pharises: this man is not of God, because he keepeth not the saboth day. Other said: how can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was strife among them. 17Then spake they unto the blind again: What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.

18The jewes did not believe of the fellow, how that he was blind, and received his sight: until they had called the father and mother of him that had received his sight. 19And they asked them saying: Is this your son, whom ye say was born blind? How doth he now see then? 20His father and mother answered them and said: we wot well that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21But by what means he now seeth, that can we not tell or who hath opened his eyes can we not tell. He is old enough, ask him, let him answer for himself, of things that pertain to himself. 22Such words spake his father, and mother, because they feared the jewes, for the jewes had conspired already that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue. 23Therefore said his father and mother: he is old enough, ask him.

24Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him: Give God the praise, we know that this man is a sinner. 25He answered and said: Whether he be a sinner or no, I cannot tell: One thing I am sure of, that I was blind, and now I see. 26Then said they to him again: What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? 27He answered them, I told you yerwhile, And ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be his disciples? 28Then rated they him, and said: Thou art his disciple. We are Moses' disciples. 29We are sure that God spake with Moses. This fellow we know not from whence he is. 30The man answered, and said unto them: this is a marvelous thing that ye wot nere whence he is, and yet hath he opened mine eyes. 31We know well enough that God heareth no sinners: But if any man be a worshipper of God: and do what his will is, him heareth he. 32Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33If this man were not of God, he could have done no thing. 34They answered and said unto him: thou art altogether born in sin: and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35Iesus heard that they had excommunicated him: and as soon as he had found him he said unto him: dost thou believe on the son of God? 36He answered and said: And who is it Lord, that I might believe on him? 37And Iesus said unto him: Thou hast seen him, and he it is that talketh with thee. 38And he said: Lord I believe: And worshipped him. 39Iesus said: I am come unto judgement, into this world: that they which see not, might see, and they which see might be made blind. 40And some of the pharises which were with him, heard these words and said unto him: Are we then blind? 41Iesus said unto them, if ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say we see, therefore your sin remaineth.
