In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was GOD
Chapter 9
- Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who
was blind from birth.
- And His disciples asked Him, saying,
Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born
blind?"
(John 9:34)
- Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor
his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in
him.
(John 11:4)
- "I must work the works of Him who sent Me
while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.
(John 4:34; John
5:17; John 5:19, _5:36; John
11:9&10)
- "As long as I am in the world, I am the
light of the world." (John 1:4)
- When He had said these things, He spat on
the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of
the
blind man with the clay. (Mark 7:33)
- And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool
of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed,
and came
back seeing. (2 Kin. 5:14;
Neh. 3:15; John 10:21)
- Therefore the neighbours and those who
previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and
begged?" (Acts 3:10)
- Some said, "This is he." Others
said, "He is like him." He said, "I am he."
- Therefore they said to him, "How were
your eyes opened?"
- He answered and said, "A man called
Jesus
made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of
Siloam
and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight." (John 9:6&7)
- Then they said to him, "Where is He?"
He said, "I do not know."
- They brought him who formerly was blind
to the Pharisees.
- Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made
the clay and opened his eyes. (John 5:9)
- Then the Pharisees also asked him again
how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on
my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
- Therefore some of the Pharisees said,
"This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath."
Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And
there was a division among them. (John 3:2;
John 5:36;
John 6:52; John 7:12; John
10:19)
- They said to the blind man again, "What
do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He
is
a prophet." (John 4:19; John 6:14)
- But the Jews did not believe concerning
him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called
the
parents of him who had received his sight.
- And they asked them, saying, "Is this
your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
- His parents answered them and said, "We
know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
- "but by what means he now sees we do
not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know.
He is of age; ask
him. He will speak for himself."
- His parents said these things because
they feared the Jews, for the jews had agreed already that if anyone
confesses that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
(John 7:13; John 12:42; John
16:2; John 20:19; Acts 5:13)
- Therefore his parents said, "He is of
age; ask him."
- So they again called the man who was
blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory!
We know that this Man
is a sinner."
- He answered and said, "Whether He is
a sinner or not I do not know.
One thing I know: that though I was
blind, now I see."
- Then they said to him again, "What did
He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"
- He answered them, "I told you already,
and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again?
Do
you also want to become His disciples?"
- Then they reviled him and said, "You
are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
- "We know that God spoke to Moses; as
for this fellow, we do not know where He is from." (John 8:14)
- The man answered and said to them, "Why,
this is a marvellous thing, that you do not know where He is from, and
yet
He has opened my eyes! (John 3:10)
- "Now we know that God does not hear
sinners;
but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears
him. (John 11:22; 1 Pet. 3:12)
- "Since the world began it has been
unheard
of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
- "If this man were not from God, He could
do nothing." (John 3:2; John 10:21)
- They answered and said to him, "You were
completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast
him out. (John 9:2)
- Jesus heard that they had cast him out;
and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son
of God?" (Matt. 14:33;
John 1:7; John 5:14)
- He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord,
that I may believe in Him?"
- And Jesus said to him, "You have both
seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." (John 4:26)
- Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And
he worshiped Him. (Matt. 8:2)
- And Jesus said, "For judgement I have
come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those
who see may be made blind." (Matt.
13:13)
- Then some of the Pharisees who were with
Him heard these words, and said to Him "Are we blind also?" (Rom. 2:19)
- Jesus said to them, "If you were blind,
you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your
sin
remains. (John 15:22)
