AND AS JESUS PASSED BY, HE SAW A MAN WHICH WAS BLIND FROM HIS BIRTH.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, SAYING, MASTER, WHO DID SIN, THIS MAN OR HIS PARENTS, THAT HE WAS BORN A. BLIND?... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS ANSWERED, NEITHER HATH THIS MAN SINNED NOR HIS PARENTS, BUT THAT THE WORKS OF GOD SHOULD BE MADE MANIFEST IN HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
I MUST WORK THE WORKS OF HIM THAT SENT ME WHILE IT IS DAY; THE NIGHT COMETH WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK.... [ Continue Reading ]
AS LONG AS I AM IN THE WORLD, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN, HE SPAT ON THE GROUND, AND MADE CLAY OF THE SPITTLE, AND HE ANOINTED THE EYES OF THE BLIND MAN WITH THE CLAY,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SAID UNTO HIM, GO, WASH IN THE POOL OF SILOAM (WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, SENT). HE WENT HIS WAY THEREFORE AND WASHED, AND CAME SEEING. This story is simply the continuation of the previous narrative, for the events here told occurred as Jesus passed along, probably out of the Temple, near whos... [ Continue Reading ]
THE NEIGHBORS, THEREFORE, AND THEY WHICH BEFORE HAD SEEN HIM THAT HE WAS BLIND, SAID, IS NOT THIS HE THAT SAT AND BEGGED?... [ Continue Reading ]
The excitement caused by the miracle:... [ Continue Reading ]
SOME SAID, THIS IS HE; OTHERS SAID, HE IS LIKE HIM; BUT HE SAID, I AM HE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE SAID THEY UNTO HIM, HOW WERE THINE EYES OPENED?... [ Continue Reading ]
HE ANSWERED AND SAID, A MAN THAT IS CALLED JESUS MADE CLAY, AND ANOINTED MINE EYES, AND SAID UNTO ME, GO TO THE POOL OF SILOAM AND WASH; AND I WENT AND WASHED, AND I RECEIVED SIGHT.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHERE IS HE? HE SAID, I KNOW NOT. The blind man had returned to the city, to his home. Jesus meanwhile continued His way elsewhere. The people of the neighborhood, seeing the former blind man walking about with the manifest ability to use the sense of sight, were filled with... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY BROUGHT TO THE PHARISEES HIM THAT AFORETIME WAS BLIND.... [ Continue Reading ]
The inquiry of the Pharisees:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT WAS THE SABBATH-DAY WHEN JESUS MADE THE CLAY AND OPENED HIS EYES.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN AGAIN THE PHARISEES ALSO ASKED HIM HOW HE HAD RECEIVED HIS SIGHT. HE SAID UNTO THEM, HE PUT CLAY UPON MINE EYES, AND I WASHED, AND DO SEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE SAID SOME OF THE PHARISEES, THIS MAN IS NOT OF GOD BECAUSE HE KEEPETH NOT THE SABBATH-DAY. OTHERS SAID, HOW CAN A MAN THAT IS A SINNER DO SUCH MIRACLES? AND THERE WAS A DIVISION AMONG THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY SAY UNTO THE BLIND MAN AGAIN, WHAT SAYEST THOU OF HIM THAT HE HATH OPENED THINE EYES? HE SAID, HE IS A PROPHET. The matter was of such importance that the people deemed it their duty to bring the man to the rulers of the people, among whom the Pharisees were the most prominent. To these stickle... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THE JEWS DID NOT BELIEVE CONCERNING HIM THAT HE HAD BEEN BLIND AND RECEIVED HIS SIGHT, UNTIL THEY CALLED THE PARENTS OF HIM THAT HAD RECEIVED HIS SIGHT.... [ Continue Reading ]
The consultation with the parents:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY ASKED THEM, SAYING, IS THIS YOUR SON, WHO, YE SAY, WAS BORN BLIND? HOW, THEN, DOTH HE NOW SEE?... [ Continue Reading ]
HIS PARENTS ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, WE KNOW THAT THIS IS OUR SON, AND THAT HE WAS BORN BLIND;... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT BY WHAT MEANS HE NOW SEETH WE KNOW NOT, OR WHO HATH OPENED HIS EYES WE KNOW NOT. HE IS OF AGE; ASK HIM; HE SHALL SPEAK FOR HIMSELF.... [ Continue Reading ]
THESE WORDS SPAKE HIS PARENTS BECAUSE THEY FEARED THE JEWS; FOR THE JEWS HAD AGREED ALREADY THAT IF ANY MAN DID CONFESS THAT HE WAS CHRIST, HE SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE SAID HIS PARENTS, HE IS OF AGE; ASK HIM. The Jewish rulers, having found the testimony of the former blind man too simple to permit any questioning, now tried to invalidate his statements by expressing doubts as to his former blindness. In an effort to discredit the whole matter, therefore... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN AGAIN CALLED THEY THE MAN THAT WAS BLIND, AND SAID UNTO HIM, GIVE GOD THE PRAISE; WE KNOW THAT THIS MAN IS A SINNER.... [ Continue Reading ]
A second interview with the former blind man:... [ Continue Reading ]
HE ANSWERED AND SAID, WHETHER HE BE A SINNER OR NO, I KNOW NOT; ONE THING I KNOW, THAT, WHEREAS I WAS BLIND, NOW I SEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THEY TO HIM AGAIN, WHAT DID HE DO TO THEE? HOW OPENED HE THINE EYES?... [ Continue Reading ]
HE ANSWERED THEM, I HAVE TOLD YOU ALREADY, AND YE DID NOT HEAR; WHEREFORE WOULD YE HEAR IT AGAIN? WILL YE ALSO BE HIS DISCIPLES?... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THEY REVELATION LED HIM AND SAID, THOU ART HIS DISCIPLE; BUT WE ARE MOSES' DISCIPLES.... [ Continue Reading ]
WE KNOW THAT GOD SPAKE UNTO MOSES; AS FOR THIS FELLOW, WE KNOW NOT FROM WHENCE HE IS. The Pharisees were in a quandary. If the facts concerning this miracle were spread abroad, the fame of Christ would grow and be carried out in all directions, and their prestige would receive a severe jolt. Therefo... [ Continue Reading ]
THE MAN ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHY, HEREIN IS A MARVELOUS THING, THAT YE KNOW NOT FROM WHENCE HE IS, AND YET HE HATH OPENED MINE EYES.... [ Continue Reading ]
The proper conclusion of the former blind man:... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW WE KNOW THAT GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS; BUT IF ANY MAN BE A WORSHIPER OF GOD, AND DOETH HIS WILL, HIM HE HEARETH.... [ Continue Reading ]
SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN WAS IT NOT HEARD THAT ANY MAN OPENED THE EYES OF ONE THAT WAS BORN BLIND.... [ Continue Reading ]
IF THIS MAN WERE NOT OF GOD, HE COULD DO NOTHING. Far from making the man dubious and timid in his statements, the method chosen by the Pharisees rather made him firmer in his position toward the Man who had given him the great blessing of sight. The astonishment of the man was well founded. The lea... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, THOU WAST ALTOGETHER BORN IN SINS, AND DOST THOU TEACH US? AND THEY CAST HIM OUT.... [ Continue Reading ]
Jesus reveals Himself:... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS HEARD THAT THEY HAD CAST HIM OUT; AND WHEN HE HAD FOUND HIM, HE SAID UNTO HIM, DOST THOU BELIEVE ON THE SON OF GOD?... [ Continue Reading ]
HE ANSWERED AND SAID, WHO IS HE, LORD, THAT I MIGHT BELIEVE ON HIM?... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, THOU HAST BOTH SEEN HIM, AND IT IS HE THAT TALKETH WITH THEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID, LORD, I BELIEVE. AND HE WORSHIPED HIM. The former blind man's frankness enraged the Pharisees beyond measure. They now cast the popular belief into his face, telling him that his blindness was due to sin, and reproaching him with his calamity. That is the manner of unbelievers. When the...

AND JESUS SAID, FOR JUDGMENT I AM COME INTO THIS WORLD, THAT THEY WHICH SEE NOT MIGHT SEE; AND THAT THEY WHICH SEE MIGHT BE MADE BLIND.... [ Continue Reading ]
The judgment upon willful blindness:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SOME OF THE PHARISEES WHICH WERE WITH HIM HEARD THESE WORDS, AND SAID UNTO HIM, ARE WE BLIND ALSO?... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, IF YE WERE BLIND, YE SHOULD HAVE NO SIN; BUT NOW YE SAY, WE SEE; THEREFORE YOUR SIN REMAINETH. Jesus here makes the application, draws the moral of the events connected with the healing of the blind man. He announces that one function of His office is to carry out judgment, to...
