He, answered - The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight. And they said unto him - Where is, He? He saith - I know not. They bring him unto the Pharisees - him at one time blind. Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes. Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them - Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, - and do see. Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying - This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not.

So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said - A prophet, is he. The Jews, therefore, did not believe, concerning him, that he was blind, and received sight, - until they called the parents of him that had received sight, and questioned them, saying - Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now? His parents, therefore, answered, and said - We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born; But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not, - Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.

Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples? And they reviled him, and said - Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses', disciples: - We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; but, as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered, and said unto them - Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth. Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing. They answered and said unto him - In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said - Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man? He answered and said- And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?
