Yochanan 9:1-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And passing along, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a man ivver (blind) from birth.

2. The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach asked him, Rebbe, who committed averos, this man or the horim (parents) of him, that he was born ivver? [YECHEZKEL 18:20; SHEMOT 20:5; IYOV 21;19]

3. In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Neither this man sinned nor the horim of him, but that the pe'ulot of Hashem may be manifested in him.

4. It is necessary for us to work the pe'ulot of the One having sent me while it is Yom. Lailah comes when no one is able to work.[Jer 13:16] ]

5. As long as I am in the Olam Hazeh, I am the Ohr HaOlam.

6. Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva and he anointed the clay upon the man's eyes,

7. And said to him, Go wash in the pool of Shiloach! [MELACHIM BAIS 5:10]. --The name means sent--He went therefore and washed and came seeing. [YESHAYAH 35:5]

8. Therefore, the shchenim and the ones seeing the man who was formerly a betler, came, saying, Is this not the man who was sitting and begging?

9. Some were saying, This is the one! Others were saying, No, but it is a man like him. But the man was saying, I am the one!

10. Therefore, the people were saying to him, How, then, were your eyes opened?

11. In reply, the man said, The one called Yehoshua took clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, Go to Shiloach [MELACHIM BAIS 5:10] and wash. Therefore, having gone, and having washed, I saw!

12. And they said to him, Where is that one? The man says to them, I do not have da'as of that.

13. The people lead the man to the Perushim…the man who had formerly been ivver (blind).

14. Now the time period Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the clay and opened his eyes was a Shabbos.
