circa 6 BC – AD 30
The Life of Jesus
The eternal Son of God enters history: born in Bethlehem, baptized in the Jordan, crucified at Golgotha, raised on the third day.
- John 9:5c. AD 33
when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'
- John 9:6c. AD 33
These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
- John 9:7c. AD 33
`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;
- John 9:8c. AD 33
the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'
- John 9:9c. AD 33
others said--`This is he;' and others--`He is like to him;' he himself said, --`I am he .'
- John 9:10c. AD 33
They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'
- John 9:11c. AD 33
he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'
- John 9:12c. AD 33
they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he saith, `I have not known.'
- John 9:13c. AD 33
They bring him to the Pharisees who once was blind,
- John 9:14c. AD 33
and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
- John 9:15c. AD 33
Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash--and I see.'
- John 9:16c. AD 33
Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man--a sinful one--able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.
- John 9:17c. AD 33
They said to the blind man again, `Thou--what dost thou say of him--that he opened thine eyes?'
- John 9:18c. AD 33
and he said--`He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,
- John 9:19c. AD 33
and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'
- John 9:20c. AD 33
His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
- John 9:21c. AD 33
and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'
- John 9:22c. AD 33
These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him--Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
- John 9:23c. AD 33
because of this his parents said--`He is of age, ask him.'
- John 9:24c. AD 33
They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'
- John 9:25c. AD 33
he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner--I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'
- John 9:26c. AD 33
And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'
- John 9:27c. AD 33
He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'
- John 9:28c. AD 33
They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;
- John 9:29c. AD 33
we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one--we have not known whence he is.'
