Jubilee Bible

St. John 9:19-35 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

19. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then does he now see?

20. His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind;

21. but by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age, ask him; he shall speak for himself.

22. These words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23. Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.

24. Then they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

25. He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.

26. Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

27. He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear? Do ye also desire to be his disciples?

28. Then they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29. We know that God spoke unto Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where he is from.

30. The man answered and said unto them, Indeed this is a marvellous thing that ye do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.

31. Now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone should fear God and do his will, him he will hear.

32. Since the world began it has not been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

33. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
