And every man returned to his own house.

And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

And they understood not that he called God his Father.

You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

And you have not known him: but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him and do keep his word.

And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?

Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes,

Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see.

The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son and that he was born blind:

But how he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself.

These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself.

He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples?

They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth.
