The Scriptures 1998

John 9:5-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6. Having said this, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and applied the clay to the eyes of the blind man.

7. And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Shiloaḥ” (which means Sent). So he went and washed, and came seeing.

8. Therefore the neighbours and those who saw him before, that he was blind, said, “Is not this he who was sitting and begging?”

9. Others said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am.”

10. So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11. He answered and said, “A Man called יהושע made clay and applied it to my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Shiloaḥ and wash.’ And I went and washed, and I received sight.”

12. And they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.”

13. They brought to the Pharisees the one who was once blind.

14. Now it was a Sabbath when יהושע made the clay and opened his eyes.

15. Therefore 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.”

16. Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from Elohim, because He does not guard the Sabbath.” Others said, “How is a man who is a sinner able to do such miracles?” And there was a division among them.
