Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing. It is my
Father, whom you say is your God, that honoureth me. Yet ye have not
known Him. But I know Him and, if I should say I know Him not, I shall
be a liar like unto you. But I know Him and keep His saying. Your father
Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw and was glad for it. Then said
the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old and hast Thou seen
Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am. Then they took up stones to cast at Him. But Jesus
hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them,
and so passed by.
9. Jesus passed by a man who was blind from birth. His disciples
asked Him, Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born
blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents;
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work
the works of Him that sent me while it is day. The night cometh when
no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the
world. 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,
and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which means Sent).
He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. The neighbours and
they who before had seen he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and
begged? Some said, This is he. Others said, He is like him. But he said,
I am he. Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He
answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed
my eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. I went
and washed and I received my sight. Then they said to him, Where is
He? And he said, I know not. They brought him to the Pharisees. It was
also the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. Then,
once again, the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. He
said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and do see.
