New Testament
| 9:1 | Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from his birth. |
| 9:2 | And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Teacher, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" |
| 9:3 | Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him." |
| 9:4 | I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work." |
| 9:5 | As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." |
| 9:6 | When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. |
| 9:7 | And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and returned seeing. |
| 9:8 | Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?" |
| 9:9 | Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." But he said, "I am he." |
| 9:10 | Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" |
| 9:11 | He answered and said, "A Man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight." |
| 9:12 | Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know." |
| 9:13 | They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. |
| 9:14 | Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. |
| 9:15 | Then 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." |
| 9:16 | Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath day." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles?" And there was a division among them. |
| 9:17 | They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." |
| 9:18 | But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight. |
| 9:19 | And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" |
| 9:20 | His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; |
| 9:21 | but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself." |
| 9:22 | His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because, the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. |
| 9:23 | Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him." |
| 9:24 | So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise! We know that this Man is a sinner." |
| 9:25 | He replied and said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see." |
| 9:26 | Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?" |
| 9:27 | He answered them, "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?" |
| 9:28 | Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. |
| 9:29 | We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from." |
| 9:30 | The man responded and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; and yet He has opened my eyes! |
| 9:31 | Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. |
| 9:32 | Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. |
| 9:33 | If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing." |
| 9:34 | They replied and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they threw him out. |
| 9:35 | Jesus heard that they had thrown him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe on the Son of God?" |
| 9:36 | He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?" |
| 9:37 | And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." |
| 9:38 | Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him. |
| 9:39 | And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." |
| 9:40 | Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?" |
| 9:41 | Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains." |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
