Genesis 3 (NASB)
1. Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Indeed, has God said, You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?2 The woman said to the serpent, From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.4 The serpent said to the woman, You surely will not die!5 For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.8 They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.9 Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, Where are you?10 He said, I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.11 And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?12 The man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.14 The LORD God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life;15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.16 To the woman He said, I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.17 Then to Adam He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.18 Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field;19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.20 Now the man called his wifes name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.22 Then the LORD God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever--23 therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
John 9 (NASB)
1. As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.2 And His disciples asked Him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?3 Jesus answered, It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.4 We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.5 While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.6 When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.8 Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?9 Others were saying, This is he, still others were saying, No, but he is like him. He kept saying, I am the one.10 So they were saying to him, How then were your eyes opened?11 He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.12 They said to him, Where is He? He said, I do not know.13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.15 Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.16 Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. But others were saying, How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs? And there was a division among them.17 So they said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.18 The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,19 and questioned them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.23 For this reason his parents said, He is of age; ask him.24 So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.25 He then answered, Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.26 So they said to him, What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?27 He answered them, I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?28 They reviled him and said, You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.30 The man answered and said to them, Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.31 We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.32 Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.33 If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.34 They answered him, You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us? So they put him out.35 Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, Do you believe in the Son of Man?36 He answered, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?37 Jesus said to him, You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped Him.39 And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.40 Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind too, are we?41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, We see, your sin remains.
