John 9:1-2

Healing a Man Born Blind

9:1 Now as Jesus was passing by, ¹  he saw a man who had been blind from birth. 9:2 His disciples asked him, ²  “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man ³  or his parents?” ⁴ 

[9:1]  ¹ tn Or “going along.” The opening words of chap. 9, καὶ παράγων (kai paragwn), convey only the vaguest indication of the circumstances.

[9:2]  ² tn Grk “asked him, saying.”

[9:2]  ³ tn Grk “this one.”

[9:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “in order that he should be born blind.”
