Others, were saying - Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying - I, am he. So they were saying unto him - How thenwere thine eyes opened? 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. Others, howeverwere saying - How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them. 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. These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, - for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made. For this cause, his parents said - He is, of age, - question him. So they called the man a second time - him who had been blind, and said unto him - Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner. He, therefore, answered - Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, - That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see! They said, therefore, unto him - What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes? He answered them - I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? 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 answered them - I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: - I and the Father, are, one. The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him. Jesus answered them - Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me? The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.
